    I doubt there's an easy way, if a way at all, to disable just the 'copy link location' function. You could disable right click, but that'll annoy users and reduce functionality.
    Also, no matter what you do, someone can view the source and get the link that way.

    If I understand correctly, you want underlined text that says Click Here To Go, but you don't want anything to happen if the user clicks on it. Aside from the fact that you'll get your users angry (just delete the link entirely), you can change the whole anchor to just the text, underline it and make it blue. Text isn't a link even if it looks like one.
