Combine linkTo and action helpers in Ember.js

I need to combine linkTo and action helpers in Ember.js. My code is:

{{#link-to 'index'}}<span {{action 'clear'}}>Clear</span>{{/link-to}}

But I would like to make this something like this:

{{#link-to 'index' {{action 'clear'}} }}Clear{{/link-to}}

And also:

<li>
    {{#link-to 'support'}}
        <span {{action 'myAction' 'support'}}>Support</span>
    {{/link-to}}
</li>

To:

<li>
    {{#link-to 'support' {{action 'myAction' 'support'}} }}Support{{/link-to}}
</li>

How can I achieve this?
