As i read your question you want to store all your routes in a xml-file?
If so: I think that is a bad idea! Why should you wanna do that? It is possible! Just read xml-file in tha same place as you would create routes (Application_Start) but your routes should be "hard-coded". Why? 1) You can see in your code that your ActionLink is correct or broken. 2) Links should not change often (due to search engines, bookmarkes etc)

in mvc routing you can write following code into globle.asax file
public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

routes.MapRoute(
"Login", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Login", action = "LoginPage", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);

}

protected void Application_Start()
{
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();


RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}
}
