HTML links displayed in the "Elements" tab (<a href="https://google.com">) are clickable within the inspector. I would like the ability to disable that.
Often I will click an <a> tag, but accidentally hit the underlined link, or click it the wrong way, which opens a new tab and navigates to that link. 
99 times out of 100, I didn't want to navigate to any link, and it gets annoying as it continues to happen.


Sometimes there are links inside the "Elements" tab that I might want to click, like a stylesheet or script. If types of links could be toggled clickable or not, that could solve the problem.

Thanks

I think it makes sense. Could you file this at crbug.com/new and we will follow up.

Thanks
Pavel
