EmberJS 2.3 link-to issues

I am using Ember.js 2.3. I have a {{link-to}} that works on parts of the app and not other parts. Here is the {{link-to}}

    {{#link-to 'leads'}}Leads{{/link-to}}

On the parts that it does not work, the link is still generated. If I inspect the element, I see:

    <a id="ember397" href="/leads" class="ember-view">Leads</a>

However, the link is not clickable by the browser. Could it be connected to the {{outlet}}? The link that works is modifying the {{outlet}} and the link that isn't working is in the template generated inside the outlet.

I am new to Ember and not sure of the terminology or if I am asking it correctly.
