Description
it could be great to add the ability to exclude some links from being suggested by the link-hints shortkeys
Example Scenarios:
-
Duplicate Links:
Github's comments have links to the user's profile both in the avatar picture and in the username. In this case, one may wish to exclude "img.avatar" links all over "github.com" -
Rarely-Used Links:
Gerrit includes a link "add this review to your favorites" per each record in the search results
Those links double the amount of link-hints in the page although not being used so often
Advantages:
- the page looks less messy with the minimal amount of link-hints
- less links-hints means less letters used by the hints. so the length of the remained hints may become shorter

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the link-hints shortkey implementation and the configuration path, then determine how exclusions should be scoped to selectors and domains. Done means users can configure exclusions for cases such as GitHub avatar links and Gerrit favorites without hiding other intended links.
