I found it was not very obvious how to have external link that coincides with you application base.

For example you have application on http://somedomain.com and on http://somedomain.com/admin you have another application. And even with href (not ng-href) and the absolute path your second application will be not accessible by link from first one. The router will keep you inside application.

The only way to solve it is to use href together with target="_self" attribute:

[javascript]
<a href="/admin" target="_self">Admin</a>
[/javascript]

And yes, this option is documented, but why it’s so hard to find?
