I see.  Apologies for not correctly understanding what the
request is.

In that case, I'd suggest that the subject line is misleading
or inaccurate.  It says clearly (?) that it is about the
_face_ for the link _after_ it has been clicked.

If it is instead about having some visual indication, _while_
it is clicked (e.g., mouse-down), that the link _is being_
clicked, then you might want to retitle the request.
