In my opinion, in today's Web, it is simply necessary to introduce a standard for the cursor, which indicates the completion of an action with or without a page reload.
Due to the lack of such a standard, I personally have to think about whether to click on this link or not. After all, they are no different ... are also underlined and everywhere the cursor is “hand”. A commonplace example is the “Add a Comment” link. There can be many variations of the action when clicking, but how I understand what exactly will happen on this site by clicking on this link is not clear.
The status bar in the browser partially saves, but this is inconvenient and does not always help. We need to do something ...
PS can underline the dotted links without reloading the page?
