Personalization for user

Question

At the design time i have a panel box that contains 3 <af:goLink> components
At the runtime the user should be able to personalize this panel box where he can
1. Add new links
2. remove
3. Reorder
This changes should be specific to that user only.
Is there any inbuilt task flow where we can achieve this functionality ?
Since the user does not have customization permission the page should not be in Edit if he presses ctrl+sht+E
So if i need some personalized button and on clicking that button i need to show a pop up where i can add , delete and order the links.
and finally i need to save this state in MDS layer.
How can this be achieved within quick time? Please advise.
Thanks and Regards,
Vishnu

Thanks Bijesh, This information is really very useful.
By following the steps that Andrejus have given in the blog, we could implement the automatic persistence available through ADF Faces. But in order to add/edit/delete the links from a layout and storing this information for each user in MDS (without the edit layout), whether we need any custom class implementation with some APIs to store the values in MDS?
Please find the below information that we got from the oracle sites.
Along with the automatic persistence available through ADF Faces, you can create your own custom user customization capabilities for the following types of changes:
•     Changing an attribute value
•     Adding or removing a facet
•     Adding or removing a child component
•     Reordering child components
•     Moving a child component to a different parent
If you want to create these types of custom user customizations, you need to add code (for example, in an event handler) that will call the APIs to handle the persistence.
Can you please advise how this can be implemented? Is there any out of box features available in Web Center rather than this?
Thanks again,
Vishnu
