Allowing ajax link clicks to propagate A click event on a link with the use-ajax class on it does not seem to propagate up the DOM. Is this true? If so, is there a setting that will allow it to propagate?

Not being a JS whizz, I'm struggling to see where the call is made (preventDefault? return false?) that blocks the propagation. I've had a look at misc/ajax.js and there is a setting element_settings.prevent that looks like it might be relevant, but I haven't found any documentation on this.
It's in Drupal.ajax.prototype.eventResponse, round about line 265:

// For radio/checkbox, allow the default event. On IE, this means letting
// it actually check the box.
if (typeof element.type != 'undefined' &amp;&amp; (element.type == 'checkbox' || element.type == 'radio')) {
  return true;
}
else {
  return false;
}


It's hard-coded, but this is JS - you can just monkey-patch Drupal.ajax.prototype.eventResponse and get it to do whatever you like :)
