I've been looking at this recently. Their appear to be two classes of solutions:
1) Client side logic in Javascript. All links, menu options etc. execute some javascript which can decide not to change the current page, but ask/force the user to save first. 2) Server side logic. All navigation etc. is done through the DispatchAction for the current page. When the user navigates off the current page the Action has an opportunity to prevent that, by forwarding back to the inout page. The server based solution seems preferable - otherwise there is a bunch of control logic going into the view component.
