... in some custom JS would do that. The problem is simply figuring out that the form has just been "Applied" rather than being loaded for the first time for edit.
And I'm not sure there is a way, that I can think of. An "apply" is just a form submission that redirects back to the same form. It's really just the same as having a redirect plugin back to itself. So when the page loads, there's really no way of telling if the page is loading from a menu link, or after being applied.
