If you need to pass an array you may use following construction:

<?= Html::a('Link Text', ['/user/admin/create'], [
    'data'=>[
        'method' => 'post',
        'params'=>[
            'User[name]' => 'John',
            'User[age]' => '25',
        ],
    ]
]) ?>

Also you can define onclick property for link and pass you own javascript handler for request.
