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.

Research direction
Investigate the Table component's selection mechanism in the Blueprint codebase. Look for existing props like `isRowSelectionDisabled` or similar, and check the column configuration options (e.g., `Column` component props). Review any CSS classes related to cell selection (e.g., `bp table selected`) to see if they can be overridden per column. Examine comments in the issue for any maintainer suggestions or related PRs.
