If you use a rendered entity in the header section (probably footer too) of a view the entity is rendered with the entity title becoming a link back to the entity.

This is often not desirable as the content is not relevant outside of the view.

The purpose of using a rendered entity is to allow editors to edit it without giving them permissions to actually edit the view. Which is a task above the editors role.

In my circumstances I worked around this by adding javascript to rewrite the link as normal text. While it works it is not an optimal solution.

It would be nice to be able to disable this function from within the view.

A search of google and of the views issue queue did not turn up a similar issue.
