You could wrap your real callback in an anonymous function that adds the
parameters that you want. Maybe something like (untested):
$.post('/ajax/asset/insert', {
folder_tid : lastUploadedFolderTID,
link : linkQueue[id]
}, function(data, status) { handleAddLinkComplete.call(this, data,
status, 123); }, 'json');
Good luck with it.
