how do i navigate away from an angular app

Question

so i have an angular app with custom routing set up.

all <a> links outside any angular scope with $route (in my case, the only scope is the ng-view) navigate like normal (ie. standard location change and page reload, as if angular didn't exist)

all links inside inside an angular scope with $route (ie. my ng-view) get routed through angular's $routeProvider - they are given a template and controller.

my question

how do i make an <a> link inside my ng-view navigate away from the angular app, to a different, static, non-angular location in the site?

Just use

<a target="_self" href="url">
