Use case or problem

I want to be able to edit the tags themselves and the text adjacent to them in peace, without a stray click opening a search query for the tag.

Proposed solution

Please add a checkbox or something to disable this interactive behaviour of tags in notes. I literally never want to search for tags like this, so it’s just a nuisance.

Current workaround (optional)

Switching to source mode each time I want to edit the text of/around tags, but it’s a hassle.

Related feature requests (optional)

Disable search auto-opening on tag click (require ctrl held or similar)? : These users had a similar complaint, but in the tags panel, while my issue refers to the tags inside notes. I would be happy with their Ctrl + Click suggestion for my scenario too.

Oh yes, that would be very handy too. So many times I open external links when I’m just trying to edit them :downcast_face_with_sweat:

Thanks to the method linked in that other thread, this snippet seems to actually solve the issue:

.cm-hashtag
{
    pointer-events: none;
    cursor: text;
}

Now if I could only make the List Callouts plugin behave the same way…

Excellent! I’m unmarking it as a solution for now, tho, so this can stay open as a companion to the other request.
