Comment:

 Since wp.org does not need such functionality at the moment, we're not
 going to build out a UI to handle this use-case.

 However, as you suggested and preferred, I can add a filter
 ('`wporg_glossary_do_links`') to `Glossary_Handler::glossary_links()` that
 will allow you to create custom code to selectively disable the
 functionality.

 See the commit for details, but the hook will take two arguments: a
 boolean to indicate if glossary terms should be linked, and the content
 that is being processed. Your code will have to determine the context and
 then the logic for disabling the glossary linking (e.g. for all pages, or
 using a custom field on pages where it should be disabled, etc).

 Note that this filter would be an all or nothing for glossary term linking
 of a given content; it won't help with selectively linking or not linking
 a subset of glossary terms.
