If javascript is enabled (and usually is for web2py pages), the easiest way 
is to load the gif when you load the referencing page (that is, the page 
with the link to be clicked).  Load it with attribute visibility set to 
hidden.  Use the js to detect the link click, and set the attribute to 
visible.

If you're doing a LOAD() within the referencing frame, then the DIV where 
the LOAD() occurs can include 
<span class="fa fa-spinner fa-spi"></span>

I haven't done this for a while, so a good refresher for me.
