Feature Request: Extend "dcc.link()" to have similar callback work flow of "dcc.button()" #503

To implement a interactive link that doesn't change the URLPATH without dcc.link() the user has to dive deeper HTML and utilize html.div() and html.A. Additional CSS styling is also required.

By adding a property to dcc.link() that doesn't require the URLPATH to change, it will give the users greater freedom to use clickable links in their projects. A similar workflow that can be implemented is n_clicks and n_clicks_timestamps used in dcc.button

wondering if you found a solution to this. I have a bunch of urls I want to dynamically populate from a callback. Is there possible?
