Fix/2962 nested links

[rluba]

Here's the promised PR for fixing #2962 without patching the events with stop-propagation directives.

I've added two tests that reproduce the problem (one of them fails without the patch).

I've used this patch in production code for about three weeks and have't noticed any negative side effects.
