How to disable drag and drop links to download.

Ive disabled video mp4 downloads by clicking links through a software but this can be overriden by dragging the mp4 download link to the download icon in the overflow menu.

So I want to disable drag and drop somehow, or any method to disable dragging links to the download icon for download.

This is the first time I've heard of dragging a link to the Downloads button to do the same thing as right-click > Save Link As. Interesting.

I am not aware of a setting for that.
