NoBody's Hero, you'd need to create a hidden form and set the pet/item image as the button, and then use an if input statement to run the append action upon clicking. Then you could just add a refresh line so that it brings them back to the explore page after a few moments. Kyttias has a script similar like this with her explore script, but you could certainly apply the same concept to this explore script;
