Description

So we can already exclude certain fields, taxonomies, post types and user roles right now, which are all great options. One that I'm missing though:

Can we have a plugin setting, or a filter, to exclude specific posts / pages, from having the clone option?

I'd like to disable the cloning links for the home page and a few utility pages, by ID, to prevent them from being copied. I set up Wordpress for clients with only the options they need, as I'm sure many developers do, and this would help with that.

Hope you will consider this. If more information is needed, let me know.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by tracing the existing exclusion options for fields, taxonomies, post types, and user roles, then determine where clone links are generated. Done means providing a setting or filter that excludes selected post and page IDs, including the home page and utility pages, from those links.
