I have a question regarding Google Tag Manager. I am using a custom html tag with the following trigger -> Click Element, CSS Selector match, .className a
After the tag is triggered I want to prevent the link from opening since a contains href = "some url". I was thinking the only way is using event.preventDefault() . However it keeps telling me event is undefined.
Thank you very much.

That doesn't really work, because you do not have access to the actual link target.
Conceivably (I haven't really tested this) you can create a custom HTML tag to prevent the default action on the tag in advance, and attach it via Tag Sequencing as the setup tag (i.e. a tag that is fired without a trigger of it's own) for your tracking tag:
document.querySelector('[href="/my/link/url"]').addEventListener("click", function(event){
event.preventDefault()
});
