This type of interaction (which requires COM event processing) is outside the design scope for IE.au3. It can be done, but it turns out to be difficult for the AutoIt COM implementation to help you with it.

This is because AutoIt deals with events asynchronously... ObjEvent essentially "registers interest" in an application's COM events rather than inserting stself into the COM processing flow like Javascript in a browser does, for example. What this means is that AutoIt will not miss any events, but it cannot reliably influence the program flow and outcome because the event may already have occurred and the application has moved past it before AutoIt ever knows about it. This is why you cannot use AutoIt directly to prevent the link in your example from opening a new window...

One thing you can do is to rewrite the HTML for the links in question so that they do what you want them to do before anyone can click on them. If that is not viable, then you can inject your own event processing Javascript into the page (onclick event handler for example) and let Javascript do the work for you since it is a part of the event processing flow.
