Try any of the following equivalents

  hide groups
  set the showGroups to false
  set the underlineLinks to false

that should stop the underlines from appearing.

I tried it here with a simple field, containing the
text
"yadda yadda.blabla blabla" where i set the style of
the chunk "yadda.blabla" to 'link'

The field's script is

  on mouseUp
    answer the clickText
  end mouseUp

Now when I set the lockText of the field to true, and
click on the "yadda.blabla", the answer shows me the
complete text of the link: "yadda.blabla"

Your quote from the documentation refers to what
happens if the user clicks a word that isn't linked.

Hope this helped,
