title: Passive Link in Angular 2 - <a href=""> equivalent
body: <p>In Angular 1.x I can do the following to create a link which does basically nothing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href=""&gt;My Link&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the same tag navigates to the app base in Angular 2. What is the equivalent of that in Angular 2?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> It looks like a bug in the Angular 2 Router and now there is <a href="https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/7294" rel="noreferrer">an open issue on github</a> about that.</p>
  
  <p>I am looking for an out of the box solution or a confirmation that there won't be any.</p>
