Vaadin Router - Forcing server fetch

With https://github.com/vaadin/vaadin-router if I want to force certain link href urls to be force fetched from server, rather than being handled at client side by router, then how can this be achieved?

Anyone facing this issue can take a look at https://github.com/vaadin/vaadin-router/issues/424 for workaround solution to this requirement. I hope vaadin team incorporates the request because it is a simple implementation.
