Preloader animation on click for Linked Variations

Add an option for image/loader/animation when the item variation is selected? This would be different than a page loader, but before the page starts loading there is a delay for the initial response. Users dont think they clicked it and click it again or bounce on the page. There is something just like this on the woocommerce /cart page when you remove an item from the shopping cart, where woocommerce as link preloader.
