When submitting a form with Turbo Drive resolves to a redirect, it advances the browser history. Speaking in Turbo Drive terms, this is a `Turbo.visit("/redirected_to_here", { action: "advance" })`. I have a scenario where I would like the redirect to replace the browser history, simulating a `Turbo.visit("/redirected_to_here", { action: "replace" })`.

The [Application Visit guides](https://turbo.hotwire.dev/handbook/drive#application-visits) have the solution for anchor tags, by annotating with a `data-turbo-action="replace"`. Guessing at an API, I attempted putting a `data-turbo-action="replace"` on the form tag, and the submit tag, but neither resulted in the desired behavior.

Is the desired behavior of redirection-as-replace possible with the current capabilities of Turbo?

We’re having the same problem, @danott.

Were you able to fix this?
