please check that your link is rendered to something like
<a onclick="web2py_component("/app/default/view/1","puppa");return false;"
href="/app/default/view/1">title</a>
If that's the case, and it's not working, then something is off with the
javascript (this functionality relies on web2py.js loaded).
Anyway, this works on the welcome app.
