http - In HTML is it possible for normal `<A/>` link to produce POST request?

Question

It is possible to use a HTML anchor link...

<a href="foo?bar=baz">link</a>

...to produce a GET request to foo with query params bar=baz.

Is it also possible to write the anchor link in such a way that it produces a POST request to foo with the params bar=baz encoded in the HTTP request body (like a form with method POST does) ?

Answer 1

No

Alternatives: You can modify the request made by the anchor tag using javascript,

or

use a form, and emulate a anchor by styling the submit button to look like a link
