How to prevent Row selection on custom elements click in UI-GRID

Question

I'm facing a problem in using UI-GRId with row selection and custom cell elements:

The sample plunker is here : http://plnkr.co/edit/Ed6s6CGFGXyUzj2cyx2g?p=preview

$scope.gridOptions = { showGridFooter:true,enableRowSelection: true, enableRowHeaderSelection: false };

$scope.gridOptions.columnDefs = [
{ name: 'id' },
{ name: 'name'},
{ name: 'age', displayName: 'Age (not focusable)', allowCellFocus : false },
{ name: 'address.city' },
{ name:'address.pin',cellTemplate:'<select><option value="122002">122002</option><option value="122001">122001</option></select>'}];

You can see that on row click, the respective row gets selected, while if you tend to select the dropdown options implicitly the row selection event also gets fired, I want that on elements click like dropdown here the row selection event should not be triggered.

Pls guide.

ui-grid's API allows controlling row selection. Look at this answer from another thread: https://stackoverflow.com/a/33788459/5954939. Basically you can use the event rowSelectionChanged or the isRowSelectable. Let me know if you need an example.
