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\' 
    }

The JQuery preventDefault method would also be a good option.

    window.LocationViewLI = Backbone.View.extend({
        tagName: "li",
        template: _.template('<%= name %>'),

        events: {
            "click a": "handleClick"
        },      
        handleClick: function(event) {
            event.preventDefault();
            console.log("LocationViewLI handleClick", this.model.escape("name") );
            // debugger;
        },
        ...
