Heck, it's 'best practice' today and thus must be a 'standard'. :-)
I'm not sure about the accessibility aspect without context, but there are
several ways to present variable/dynamic data as a result of a click on the
same page without a page refresh (sort of what a frame does): iframe,
hide/reveal DIVs, fetch new data from a server and write it to a DIV or a
text node of the DOM, etc. The stuff that kind of sounds like "stronger than
dirt" that you've been hearing about lately everywhere on the Internets:

is precisely what God created XMLHTTPRequest for. :-)
Conceptual examples: GMail and Google Suggest.
