using html.actionlink outside of a viewpage in MVC3 - asp.net-mvc-3

Question

Struggling on in my first MVC project, I need to show a menu of steps for a wizard. The problem is that some of the steps depend on the data that the user provides.
So say for example, if a user pays cash, we skip the page that shows bank-account information (and thus remove the menu-item)..
I have a "page" class in C#, and a "menu" class that has a list of "pages". I'm going to write the logic that dictates whether or not to show a menu-item in the menu class.
The problem is this;
The page class is a very simple class that looks like this ("active" means the menuitem is highlighted as the currently active item):
public class Page
{
MvcHtmlString Link { get; set; }
bool Active { get; set; }
bool Visible { get; set; }
public Page(MvcHtmlString link)
{
Link = link;
Active = false;
Visible = true;
}
public Page(MvcHtmlString link, bool active, bool visible)
{
Link = link;
Active = active;
Visible = visible;
}
}
In my logic I want to add pages to the list, and I'd like to use the "Link" property of a page to store the target URL for each menu-item. This way I can fill that property using Html.Actionlink() and all its available parameters to generate the HTML for the link.
In the eventual menu I can just iterate and show the items.
It also has the advantage that I could do an AJAX call to this function and receive HTML back I can use in my page to update the menu dynamically.
However, Html.ActionLink is not available, and in other posts on Stackoverflow I found that people also dislike using a html helper outside of an MVC view, for understandable reasons.
So my question is; how would I go about this in a clean solution? I considered giving the page class not a Link property, but "controller" and "action" properties, but I would be missing out on the flexibility of adding a class or other HTML attributes easily, which the actionlink DOES provide.
Thanks,
