I do not want the program to react when I left click ordinary text. The program should not anticipate my needs. It should wait until I’ve told it I need something (with a right click) before doing anything.
I’m gonna break your heart then. Until about 15 years ago it used to be that literally all interactable/clickable text was both blue AND UNDERLINED to indicate it was a clickable link. Then some self-important designers with no user experience testing decided that was just too ugly and stopped underlining links to give it a “clean” minimalist look. It was then a trend, so everyone copied it. Now we still live with those consequences :(
This is what you sound like: Xkcd Workflow
Kinda. Very specific edge case that can be solved with a custom feature like a browser extension.

I lived in that beautiful era. It was glorious.
