Disable showing links of <a> element on hover

When I hover over on any website's a element, I get a link in left bottom corner. For example, when I move cursor on Stackoverflow's logo I get Stackoverflow's URL in corner:

enter image description here

Is it possible to disable this URL in the corner using css / html? I am using Angular 5 in project so if there is an Angular feature that does, please let me know. Thanks for answers.

You can use button with attribute routerLink, it will not display the URL on hover. It could be written as:

<button [routerLink]="['/register']">Sign Up</button>

Since it's about angular, you can just do this instead:

<button (click)="routeToOtherPage()">Link</button>

with

routeToOtherPage() {
  this.router.navigate(["/other-page"]);
}

You can also write your own directive to inline this, something along the lines of this:

@Directive({
  selector: "[clickRouterLink]"
})
export class ClickRouterLinkDirective {
  @Input()
  private clickRouterLink: any | any[];

  @HostListener("click")
  public handleLinkClicked() {
    // Crude check for whether an array has been provided.
    // You might want to make this better (or even compare with the implementation of routerLink).
    const route = this.clickRouterLink && typeof this.clickRouterLink.length === "number"
      ? this.clickRouterLink
      : [this.clickRouterLink];

    this.router.navigate(route);
  }

  constructor(private router: Router) {}
}

And then

<button clickRouterLink="events">Link</button>
<button [clickRouterLink]="['events', event.id]">Link</button>

The preview is rendered by the browser and you can't control it. The only solution would be to use another tag with a similar style and functionality, for example:

<span class="link" onclick="window.open('http://website.com','_blank');">Website</span>
