You can merge the AjaxOptions to the link tag as,

linkTag.MergeAttributes(ajaxOptions.ToUnobtrusiveHtmlAttributes());

Additionally, you can merge the html attributes as,

linkTag.MergeAttributes(HtmlHelper.AnonymousObjectToHtmlAttributes(htmlAttributes));

AjaxOptions is just a class. You can set your own properties on it. I'd suggest using the existing Ajax helper and just changing the AjaxOptions first. So:

public static MvcHtmlString ActionLinkWithSpan(this AjaxHelper html,
                        string linkText,
                        string actionName,
                        object htmlAttributes,
                        AjaxOptions options)
{
    RouteValueDictionary attributes = new RouteValueDictionary(htmlAttributes);
    // Add more attributes here if you want

    options.InsertionMode = InsertionMode.InsertBefore; // As an example. Or amend any others here.

    return html.ActionLink(linkText, actionName, attributes, options);
}
