      Well indeed there is now a way.  Try this as a formula Rich Text button (not formula URL!).

       

      save and contunue

      var text RID = If([Record ID#]>0, ToText([Record ID#]), "%%rid%%");

      var text URL = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er"
      & "&rid="& $RID;

      "<a class='SaveBeforeNavigating' data-replaceRid=true style=\"text-decoration:none; background: #117a39; border-radius: 5px; color: #FFFFFF; display: inline-block; padding: 4px 4px 4px 4px; width:140px; text-align: center; text-shadow: none; border: 2px solid #0863f5; font-size: 12px \"href='"
      & $URL
      & "'>Save and Continue</a>"
