To pass the lead id the link should be
$html->link('/leads/addactivity/'.$lead['Lead']['id']); // assuming
this is in your view.ctp/thtml
Any values in the url after the controller/action will be passed into
the action as paramerter so urls are in the format
site.com/controller/action/param1/param2/param3 etc
I couldn't find this in the manual just now. Hmmm...
