Panel group layout is pretty simple, and will do what you need.
Example:
<tr:panelGroupLayout partialTargets="exampleButton">
<tr:commandLink rendered="#{buttonWasClicked}" text="visible now!"/>
</tr:panelGroupLayout>
<tr:commandButton id="exampleButton" text="Show it" partialSubmit="true">
<f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{buttonWasClicked}" value="#{true}" />
</tr:commandButton>
