I'm not aware of a built-in option to do that. If you want to come up with a custom solution, the code to study is org-set-font-lock-defaults, which in turn calls org-activate-tags and org-activate-dates. You could override -activate-tags and -activate-dates to not apply the mouse-face and keymap properties. Or perhaps just remove them afterwards: (defun my/org-discard-mouse (&rest _) (remove-text-properties (match-beginning 1) (match-end 1) '(mouse-face nil keymap nil)) t) (advice-add 'org-activate-tags :after-while #'my/org-discard-mouse) (advice-add 'org-activate-dates :after-while #'my/org-discard-mouse)
