It sounds like you need to register a second "Action Only" route and use Html.RouteLink(). First register a route like this in you application start up:

routes.MapRoute("ActionOnly", "{controller}/{action}", 
   new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" } );

Then instead of ActionLink to create those links use:

Html.RouteLink("About","ActionOnly")
