There's a nice way to do this...
Use an AjaxDirectLink but set a custom ILinkRenderer on it
that only outputs the value of the href attribute...

I recently added such a renderer in Tap4.1, was thinking it might be
useful in tacos as well...

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tapestry/tapestry4/trunk/tapestry-contrib/src/java/org/apache/tapestry/contrib/link/RawURLLinkRenderer.java

Also, the refresh component might be useful to you...
