Yes, but the easiest way would be to still use a form. Add a form with a progress bar without any form elements in it and even add style="display:none" so the form doesn't actually display.
Set the form action to the page you want to link to and have the link submit the form.
Do that by adding a function to the page like:
<script>
function doProgress() {
WADFP_jQuery('#form1').submit();
}
</script>
then the link would be something like: <a href="javascript:doProgress()">go</a>
Did this help? Tips are appreciated...
