Yes, client side it is. You could add a binding like onclick =
"return false;"; to the hyperlink. That should deactivate it, though
it will still appear as a clickable link. To get the effect that you
want, you will probably want to change this to
onclick = "return canSubmit();";
And implement canSubmit() to perform your checks and return true or
false.

I just tried using a binding but it didn't work. It may have to do
with the WOHyperlink being a subcomponent of the actual component
I'm using but even putting something like "^disabled" into the
disabled binding didn't seem to work.
So as it stands now it does appear that it has to be done client side.
The reason the WOHyperlink is subcomponent is because it also does a
form submit as well.

The disabled = true; binding does not do what you want? You want
client side de-activation?
