Execute p:commandLink action before onclick event?

I have a p:commandLink which launches a dialog on click. Further there is an action, which must be executed before launching the dialog, as the dialog depends on the content the action populates.

How can I run the action before launching the popup without javascript?

<p:commandLink action="#{service.computePrefetch(_var)}" onclick="dlg.show()"/>

With the oncomplete attribute and the ajax update attribute.

<p:commandLink action="#{service.computePrefetch(_var)}" update="dlgId" oncomplete="dlg.show()"/>

Execution order:

onclick->action->update->oncomplete
