How do I 'donut cache' in ASP.NET MVC for something more than a date

All the examples for donut caching I've seen are just like this :

 <%= Html.Substitute( c => DateTime.Now.ToString() )%>

Thats fine if I just want the date, but what other options are there?

I know there is a delegate 'MvcSubstitutionCallback' which has the following signature :

 public delegate string MvcSubstitutionCallback(HttpContextBase httpContext);

but RenderAction and RenderPartial returns void so i cant just return them from the delegate method. How can I effectively use this callback for more complex situations.

I've looked at both of Phil Haacked's articles here and here, but neither seems to do exactly what I want.

"Donut Caching" means using Response.WriteSubstitution method. If you look at MVC source you will see that System.Web.Mvc.Html.RenderPartialExtensions.RenderPartial method is using Response.Output (HtmlHelper.cs, line 277 - last line in 'RenderPartialInternal' method) - so you need create your own html helpers for handling more complex situations.
