If you're just wanting to disable the right-click menu, there are
JavaScript mechanisms that supposedly will do this.

But if you're wanting to prevent people from ever being able
to see or copy a link, as a security measure, there's not really a 
way to do that.  

In order for a browser to be able to display a link it has to 
have a copy of it, and anything that a browser can obtain from a 
server a person can also obtain, either by asking the browser to
display it or by directly asking for the information from the
server (as if by a browser).

Hope this helps,

Pm
