Thanks for challenging the status quo, actually I just discovered data-turbo-action introduce in v 7.2.0 appears to do the trick : https://turbo.hotwired.dev/handbook/frames#promoting-a-frame-navigation-to-a-page-visit

Hi @Intrepidd , It seems that the turbo-action advance updates the URL but it refreshes the whole page.
Also, have you seen issues on the history back button on your solution?

@michelson I don't experience the refreshing of the whole page with data-turbo-action="advance", maybe the refresh is caused by something specific to your app ?

And yes, I've seen issues with my solution when playing back and forth with the history, I'm glad I was able to drop it for a more native solution :)

Hi @Intrepidd, not sure why I get that behavior, what I have is a link outside the frame that is visiting the frame, like:

<a data-turbo-frame="conversation" href="...">link</a>
<turbo_frame_tag "conversation" data-turbo-action="advance" src="...">...</>

Could happen that the browser refresh is due because the link is outside the frame?
