iPhone web applications and hyperlinks

Hello,

I have a WO app which some users are accessing via Mobile Safari on iPhones.  I am taking some steps to make the app more iPhone-friendly, and one of these is running in "full screen" mode when launched from the user's home screen:

<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />

When an app is running in that mode, clicking on a hyperlink causes full screen mode to end—Mobile Safari is launched, and the resulting page is displayed in the browser, with UI chrome.  Obviously, this is not the behaviour that I want.

Has anyone used, or can anyone suggest, an easy work-around here?  My application makes quite some use of WOHyperlinks.  While a complete re-design of the iPhone-specific UI is probably the Right Thing, I would be happy in the first instance with a hack, no matter how egregious.  Can I convert the WOHyperlinks to AjaxHyperlinks?  I can't quite see how.  I can get the same server-side action to run, but what do I run browser-locally to update with the returned WOActionResults?  Or is this problem intractable without an iPhone-focussed re-design?
