Remove file link and path [#2469009]

I am using the FileField paths module. It adds a field called 'origname' and Filefield paths allows me to change the file name and paths. I successfully added that field to the display in a custom module (even for a drupal coding noob pretty easy):

function mymodulename_extended_file_field_metadata_types() {
    // Start with the default file field metadata.
    $defaults = array(
      'origname' => array(
        'title' => t('File Name'),
        'sort' => 'string',
      ),
      );
return $defaults;
}

Now I would like to remove the default file display and link. The user will not be able to download these uploaded files and I only want them to see the file name that they uploaded.

Hopefully you figured this out ... but in case others following have the same question, one approach to do this would be to implement hook_extended_file_field_output_alter(&$elements, &$context). This hook allows you to modify the final table structure prior to rendering the final extended_file_field formatter output; and allows for everything from adding or hiding particular items to re-structuring the entire output table.

An example implementation and documentation for the function can be found inside extended_file_field.api.php.
