I don't know if this falls under "bad practice" or not, but time and time again here on the group, people post code like yours where they use an <a> tag to do something that has nothing to do with an <a> tag If you don't want to go somewhere, why not just use a <span> or a <div> and hang the click event on that? then propagation is a non- issue
One reason to use a link rather than a span or a div is for (keyboard) accessibility. Links can have focus and can be tabbed to and triggered by pressing enter/return.
