Need reliable hook for storing/restoring data to/from page metadata that is tes compatbile

Requesting a hook to reliable store/restore data to/from page metadata before/after requests that works with WicketTester. Currently I'm using WebRequestCycleProcessor.resolve() and and respond(), but BaseWicketTester.clickLink() doesn't run processRequestCycle before executing the onClick() handler, so this doesnt' work for testing ajax components.
