I faced the same issue, but failed to get any good solution after breaking my head for hours. So, based on the suggested answers here, I did something like:

function enableLink() {
  jQuery("#link_id").removeClass("disabled");
  jQuery("#link_id").attr("data-remote", true);
}


function disableLink() {
  jQuery("#link_id").addClass("disabled");
  jQuery("#link_id").removeAttr("data-remote");
}

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
  jQuery(document).on("click", "disabled", function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
  });
});

I accept it's not a good workaround. But, thats what helped me.
