How to disable automated "Mentioned By" link in custom HTML field?
Starting 7.0.3, a link in a custom HTML field creates now automatically the "Mentioned By" link.
Up to 7.0.2, only linkes in the standard attributes Summary, Description and Comments created these links.
Even if it s a nice and useful behavior, in some cases it is not wanted.
Is there an option to disable this feature back to the older functionality?
