Answer 1

Once you navigate away from the page scripts no longer run.*

Your flow can be something like:

When the user clicks, run a function that does the following:

• Run the original function you wanted to run
• Handle any 'navigate away in this specific case' logic.
• Change location.href to the URL you want to to navigate to.

It's of course possible to extract this behavior to a directive if you find yourself implementing that bit of logic over and over :)
