I'm probably not following you, but if you want the server to do something
resulting in new content on the page, you either instigate a new request
via a URL (which I think is known as the "REST" method), or use AJAX to
fetch data from the server (and then use javascript to update part of the
page).
the "links" method is a REST approach. It has to create a request and a
page reload, that's the way it works. Using AJAX is easy with web2py, see
the chapter on components.
In this case the action on your link can not be a URL since this makes a
request & page load. You would execute javascript instead.
REST is simpler I think. AJAX is a smoother user experience (there is no
page reload, for example).
