You need HTML5-able browser and some JavaScript. Here is the demo of HTML5 history feature.

GitHub implemented that feature for tree browsing. And there is screencast in railscast.com.

I'm afraid not. To display a different you URL you would have to browse to that URL which would involve another request.

You could update part of your page using an AJAX call that fires on your button click.
