You should check out the OP. This is exactly what htmx does.

  The name alone already makes me feel dread. htmx - as if HTML needed an x for extended ... also has a feeling of docx and its ilk. Why do people feel the need to change HTML instead of changing the logic, that outputs HTML? HTML is just the damn view layer! This smells of mixing logic into the view layer again.

    htmx is very, very close conceptually to a standard HTML <form> tag. (By the way, the fact that there is a <form> tag immediately tells us that HTML is not just 'the damn view layer'.). htmx just goes slightly beyond it to give <form>-like capabilities to every element, and doesn't need a full page reload. It doesn't even necessarily change or extend HTML–you can just use a `data-` prefix on the attributes that it adds–which makes it completely standards-compliant HTML. It's a very natural fit.
