If I understand you correct you can use beforeSelectRow event handler with the following code for example:

beforeSelectRow: function(rowid, e) {
    var $link = $('a', e.target);
    if (e.target.tagName.toUpperCase() === "A" || $link.length > 0) {
        // link exist in the item which is clicked
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

returning of the false value from the beforeSelectRow will prevent selection of the row.
