a full postback within partialpostback and server event handler ?

I face several problems about using Atlas. Here is the problem :-

I have several anchors inside a big updatepanel. With these anchors, some of them have to raise a full postback, since i can't use a server.transfer when running in particalpostback call. I know i can create a dummy element outsite the updatepanel, and let those anchor (which need a full postback) call a _dopostback with that dummy element to raise a full postback. The problem is ... because there is a server event handler associated with each anchor, and If my understanding is right, by calling _dopostback manually, the server event handler will never get executed. I know i can set up some __EVENTARGUMENT and do whatever i want .. but is there any smarther and better solution ?

Why do you need the anchors inside the UpdatePanel? Can you have them outside (and therefore generate a regular postback)?
