Allow theming of menu_item_link and menu_item

Yes, thank you. I just need to add to my links in navigation menu few attributes: class="ajax" name="ajaxify". I made it by deleting dhtml_menu_theme_menu_item_link function from dhtml_menu.module and add this edited function in my template.php file:

function dhtml_menu_theme_menu_item_link($link) {
  // The ID is the mlid or a stripped form of the link path. It just must be unique.
  $id = isset($link['mlid']) ? $link['mlid'] : preg_replace('/[^a-z0-9]/', '0', $link['href']);
  $link['localized_options']['attributes']['id'] = "menu-". $id;
  $link['localized_options']['attributes']['name'] = "ajax";
  $link['localized_options']['attributes']['class'] = "ajaxify";

  // Each link in series is another level of recursion. Add it to the stack.
  _dhtml_menu_stack($link);

  // Pass the altered variables to the normal menu themer.
  return theme_menu_item_link($link);
}

I just want to keep module files clean and not edited for future upgrading and make all overriding in me theme files.
Thank you.

Hi. I'am sorry for delay in answer.
It works!
I upgraded module to 6.x-3.2, patched it and tried to add in my template.php this:

function phptemplate_menu_item_link($link) {
  if (empty($link['localized_options'])) {
    $link['localized_options'] = array();
    $link['localized_options']['attributes']['name'] = "ajax";
  }
  if (empty($link['localized_options']['attributes']['class'])) {
    $link['localized_options']['attributes']['class'] = 'menu-'. $link['mlid'];
    $link['localized_options']['attributes']['name'] = "ajax";
  }
  else {
    $link['localized_options']['attributes']['class'] .= ' menu-'. $link['mlid'];
    $link['localized_options']['attributes']['name'] = "ajax";
  }
  return l($link['title'], $link['href'], $link['localized_options']);
}

And theme output changed. I need all this changes to ajaxify my theme and use it together with this great module.
Thank you for this nice module and your support!
I will follow with updates.
