If you are using Razor (I realize OP asked four years ago before Razor was invented, but people finding this maybe using it).

I was able to get something working by using an inline @helper method.

@helper RunnerLink(PersonSearch model, int page)
{
    var routeParms =new RouteValueDictionary(model.GetType().GetProperties().ToDictionary(p => p.Name, p => p.GetValue(model, null)));
    routeParms.Add("page", page.ToString());
    routeParms.Add("Controller", "Property");
    @Html.ActionLink("Search", "Index", routeParms)
}

Usage would be simple --

@RunnerLink(myPersonSearchInstance, 1)

It isn't the most elegant solution, but it works well if you want to pass an object in as a routeValue, but you need to pass additional items, such as Controller, Area or in OPs case page.
