You can pass an optional jQuery selector to the load function (separated by a space from the URL) to load a page fragment.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('a').click(function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        var test = $(this).attr('href');
        $('.window').load(test + ' article');
    });
});

You can find this feature in the jQuery .load() documentation
