[Rails] Passing multiple values with link_to

Hi,

I''m porting a family membership and program involvement system for a
non-profit organization I''ve been involved with to rails from
FileMaker.  I''m new to rails and have been enjoying it very much, but
I''m running into a problem with many-to-many relationships and
editing.

I have five tables, families, families_members, members,
members_programs and programs.  I have a list view for families where
I can select a family and see all of it''s members and each of the
members programs that they have been involved.

When I create a new member I it gets added to the family and returns
back to the family that I''m editing since I pass the families id.
However, when I edit an existing member I seem to be only able to pass
one id (the member id) in the link_to helper and therefore unable to
return the family that was editing.

1) Is there a way to pass multiple values with link_to?
			<%= link_to ''Edit'', :action =>
''editmember'', :id => member %>

2) Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,
Venkat
