The best way to do this is to completely seperate your markup (html)
from your behaviour (js). Your link should actually point to a real URL
that works in case someone has JS turned off. This way you can select
the link with ie.link(:url, 'linkurl').
If you give the url a unique id or even a class that all ajax urls will
use, you can use JS (most likely a JS library) to select the links and
add event handlers to them (and possibly parse the url to understand
what the request params are), making the AJAX call and killing the event
so the browser doesn't actually request the page. That's how I would do it.
