Create two actions on the same view file in cakephp?

I have a profile page where the url looks like this: /ClinicalAnnotation/Participants/profile/11

I want to create this /ClinicalAnnotation/Participants/profile/11/submitreview/1

How can I do this with routes?

Also: On this profile page I have an <a href=""> tag.

<a href="/ClinicalAnnotation/Participants/profile/'.$participantId.'/submitreview/'$medicalRecordReviewId'">Medical Record Review 2 Completed</span>

So I want to create an action in my ParticipantsController.php:

public function submitreview($participantId, $medicalRecordReviewId)
{
    echo "Hello";
}

There's also a file called PermissionManagerComponent.php. I have to add the permissions here, something like:

'Controller/ClinicalAnnotation/Participants/submitreview' => 'Controller/ClinicalAnnotation/Participants/profile',

Right now when a User clicks on the a tag, I want to see the word Hello. Then I'll know what I'm trying to do is working.

Attached is a screenshot of the page and the <a href=""> tag (bottom right portion of the screenshot). enter image description here

You can use custom route elements to form pretty much any URL you want, something along the lines of this:

Router::connect(
    '/ClinicalAnnotation/Participants/profile/:participantId/submitreview/:medicalRecordReviewId',
    array(
        'controller' => 'Participants',
        'action' => 'submitreview',
    ),
    array(
        // pass route element values to the controller action
        'pass' => array(
            'participantId',
            'medicalRecordReviewId',
        ),
        // restrict route elements to integer values
        'participantId' => '[0-9]+',
        'medicalRecordReviewId' => '[0-9]+',
    )
);

To generate a link in your templates you can then use the helpers, for example:

echo $this->Html->link('Medical Record Review 2 Completed', array(
    'prefix' => null,
    'plugin' => false,
    'controller' => 'Participants',
    'action' => 'submitreview',
    'participantId' => $participantId,
    'medicalRecordReviewId' => $medicalRecordReviewId,
));
