How to transition without changing the url in ember 1.11

I have a situation where the back button actually causes harm in my application and I seem to remember a solution in ember where I could have a single link-to helper not update the url (but keeping the routes /link-to helpers for other routes working as usual).

Is this still an option/possible in ember 1.11? If so - how? If no - what other options do I have if I need to prevent a single link-to from allowing the user to go back?

{{#link-to "foo.bar" bar}}details{{/link-to}}

Unfortunately the link-to helper doesn't pass the replace property down to the view itself, the LinkView does have a property replace which will replace the current route in history instead of just adding it to the history.

Option 1

Use an action instead of a link-to, and use this.replaceRoute/this.replaceWith instead of this.transition....

Option 2

Extend the LinkView and set replace: true, dupe the link-to helper code and call it link-to-replace and use your extended LinkView.
