do you need to disable a link forever, or just until the action is done? – tokenvolt Sep 18 '13 at 16:52

No, you need to do this through Javascript. When the link is clicked you can set a disabled attribute. On subsequent clicks, you can then check for the attribute and if it is set, you can then use e.preventDefault(); to prevent the link from being following.
If you're using something like Twitter Bootstrap, there are some more elegant options, via button loading states.

And to do the click, I think they can use a `:onclick => 'my_javascript_call();'` as a parameter to the `link_to`. – lurker Sep 18 '13 at 16:58

Depending on what you're trying to do, you can probably finagle link_to_if and link_to_unless to get achieve what you want.
