button

I want to extend a WPF button to store some extra data, in a similar way to the current "Tag" property. Are attached properties the way forward? The data I want to store will be a URL Link string, for example I would like to be able to do something like:

<Button Tag="BBC World News" URLLink="http://www.bbc.co.uk"/>

Can anyone help me to understand how to extend the Button?

Many thanks
