[OTRS FEATURE REQUEST] Add an option to disable hyperlinks in articles to avoid distraction
Open, LowPublicFeature

Description

From OTRS:

I have a suggestion that may improve readability for some users, which is the ability to disable links within an article.
I greatly enjoy reading long articles, but find myself distracted by the links to other articles, due to both the different font color and sometimes accidentally clicking on them and being navigated away.
I try to workaround this by saving articles as PDFs, but if there was a way to disable link color/navigation within the native app I think it would give the reader improved focus.
Thank you again for your hard work in building and maintaining the app, and thank you for your consideration of my suggestion.

Additional request: https://ticket.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom;TicketID=11821026:

Would it be possible to add a setting/option to toggle the display of hyperlinks in Wikipedia pages? Research has shown that humans read more efficiently and distraction-free without hyperlinks, and I think it would benefit readers to have this option when they want to focus
