Write to Database while using record link

I don't believe it will be possible to do this within one link click - as you can see the recordLink control doesn't provide any saveInto capability. My idea would be perhaps require 2 clicks - the first click would be to show the link with the message says click yes to open (in which you could perform whatever saveInto you like), and then after the user clicks that first link to expose the actual link, they can click the recordLink .
