Feature request: provide option to disable link following

[kenbarr1]

It markdown-mode, hyperlinks are clickable/followable -- which can make it frustrating/difficult to edit files because the buffer changes whenever I click in the wrong place.

I have some workarounds, but it would be nice to expose this as an option that one could toggle.

Workaround:

; Turn off click-follows-link in Markdown mode.
(defun disable-goto-addr ()
  (setq-local mouse-1-click-follows-link nil)
  ; turn middle clicks into the default action, normally pasting the primary selection.
  (define-key markdown-mode-mouse-map [mouse-2] nil)
)
(add-hook 'markdown-mode-hook 'disable-goto-addr)

Thanks, I will make this a user-customizable option in the future.
