AngularJS How to get additional routes parameter - angularjs

Question

Is there a way to add extra parameters to the $routeProvider and retrieve this parameters in a directive? I need this because the variable is page specific.
I would like to add a parameter pageName to the routeprovider like so:
$routeProvider
.when('/home',
{
controller: 'homeController',
templateUrl: '_templates/home.html',
pageName: 'home'
})
And use this extra parameter in a directive like so
directives.dirPagename = ['$route', '$routeParams', function($route, $routeParams) {
return {
restrict: 'ECA',
template: 'test',
link: function (scope, elem, attrs) {
console.log($route);
console.log($routeParams);
}
}
}]
When I log $route and inspect this inside google webdeveloper tools the pageName parameter is a few layers deep.
Object {routes: Object, reload: function}
current: D
$$route: Object
controller: "homeController"
**pageName: "home"**
Is there a way to directly get this variable or is this totally the wrong way to go?
UPDATE:
You can get the variables in routing with
var pageName = $route.routes[$location.$$path].pageName;

You can find the information in $route.routes[uri].
I share with you my viewRouter service as an exemple:
var uaViewRouter = angular.module('ua.ViewRouter', []);
uaViewRouter.service('uaViewProvider', function($route, $location, uaContext){
this.redirectToView = function(viewName){
url = undefined;
for(var route in $route.routes){
if ($route.routes[route].view == viewName){
url = route;
}
}
if(url == undefined){
throw("uaViewProvider: Undefined view " + viewName);
}
if($route.routes[url].enrichment == true){
url = url.replace(":operatorId", uaContext.operator.get().id);
url = url.replace(":productId", uaContext.product.get().id);
}
$location.path(url);
};
});
uaViewRouter.run(function($rootScope, uaViewProvider) {
$rootScope.uaViewProvider = {};
$rootScope.uaViewProvider.redirectToView = function(viewName) {
uaViewProvider.redirectToView(viewName);
};
});
Exemple of route declaration:
uaApp.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.
when('/login', {
templateUrl: 'app/login/login.tpl.html',
loginRequired: false,
view: 'login'
}).
...
You can use it in your controller or service by calling:
uaViewProvider.redirectToView('login');
Or in the template:
