Description

I have a column in a bp table (fancy react table) that each cell contains a link. When I click the Link inside the cell, the cell is selected and highlighted before the url changes. I would like to be able to say that that column is not selectable or the highlight is disabled. I'm happy to provide a .gif if that's helpful.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the Blueprint table component source code, specifically the selection behavior in the table cell click handler. Identify where the cell selection highlight is triggered and add a prop to disable it for specific columns.
