Yes.  If you disable "click link to load," you should also have the program
disable the underlining and hot cursoring.  Otherwise we have the same
un-inituive UI problem we had before.  The whole reason I wrote this patch
was becuase I like and use hot clicking on URLs (I don't tend to accidently
click things becuase I'm very keyboard oriented in a terminal window ;)),
and because the terminal kept giving off these signals, "I'm a clickable
link!  Click me to have an action performed!" -- yet nothing would actually
happen when you click the link.

I'll look into seeing if I can add such a change to the program.
