-----------------------------------------------------------------
I proposed a similar patch in TAP5-2162, but it's probably outdated by now.
Regarding the patch, I think the handler methods should not return any value at
all.

> Ajax EventLinks should not cancel the click event
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TAP5-2431
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2431
> Project: Tapestry 5
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tapestry-core
> Affects Versions: 5.4
> Reporter: Chris Poulsen
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: zone-patch.diff
>
>
> Currently the click handlers in zone.js return false to prevent browsers from
> following the link. Sometimes this result in unexpected behavior in pages.
> The use-case where we have been hit by this is ajax links in a bootstrap
> dropdown:
> When a link option is clicked the dropdown does not close again - This is due
> to the click event being cancelled.
> The fix that we use locally; is to use event.preventDefault() and let the
> click event bubble.
> I think this should be the default behavior of the framework - as it has much
> smaller impact than swallowing the click event and makes the client side
> things more flexible.
