How can I stop event propagation with Backbone.js?

Question

Using a Backbone.js View, say I want to include the following events:

    events: {
        \'click a\': \'link\', 
        \'click\': \'openPanel\' 
    }

I've been using e.stopImmediatePropagation(); in order to keep the event from propagating. I wish there was a shorter way to do this. I would like return false; but that is due to my familiarity with jQuery
