You're right, you don't need a form to process anything. What springs
to my mind offhand is to have the link send an AJAX request to the
server, to clear/set the field in question, and when you get back the
confirmation, show it on the screen as cleared/set. (Most likely by
getting back the data for the new value of the whole item, and
updating the item's representation on the view.)
