Can the Action perform method be changed to add extra arguments to it

Hi i was wondering two questions one which i think is a No. If it a "No" how do i create a custom one to be able to pass an extra argument

Here is the below code

Java Code:

        //Add action listener to button
        button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
 
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            {
                //Execute when button is pressed
                System.out.println("You clicked the button");
            }
        });

I want to be able to change it or create a custom one that will do this or something custom that will be able to perform the same thing but with an extra argument

Java Code:

        //Add action listener to button
        button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
 
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e, String Arg1)
            {
                //Execute when button is pressed
                System.out.println("You clicked the button");
            }
        });

Thanks in advanced
