Answer 1

I am too late, I know but this is one of the easiest workaround I've found:

    $('body').on('touchstart','*',function(){   //listen to touch
        var jQueryElement=$(this);  
        var element = jQueryElement.get(0); // find tapped HTML element
        if(!element.click){
            var eventObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
            eventObj.initEvent('click',true,true);
            element.dispatchEvent(eventObj);
        }
    });

This does not only works for links(anchor tags) but for other elements also. Hope this helps.
