Should linking to other topics cause the browser window to refresh?

By clicking the first link, it refreshes the entire window, instead of just loading the topic using Ember.

Using the second link, it loads the topic dynamically instead of refreshing the entire page. Is there a reason why we can’t have a preview of a topic and load it like the second link?
