Can’t add a class to links in the visual editor since WP 3.1?

1. The link window was completely redesigned in 3.1 to make it easier to link to other posts in your blog. The “title” and “class” attributes were removed from this window, probably because the UI team thought they were not used as often?

2. I think it’s a shame they have canceled the ability to add classes to links.
   Do you know a good workaround to add them?

   I now use this one, but this will wrap the anchor with another p or span tags and it’s really unnecessary ..

   //add tinyMCE styles
   function tc_add_formatTinyMCE($init) { 
       $init['theme_advanced_buttons2_add'] = 'styleselect';  
       $init['theme_advanced_styles'] = 'friendlyname=classname, friendlyname2=another-classname  ';  
       return $init;
   }
   
   add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'tc_add_formatTinyMCE' );
