Disabling clickable thumbnails

If I’m posting material from imgur etc - such as a gif image that plays on my page - is there a way to disable users from being able to click on the thumbnail and opening a new page?

I’m expecting my users to mostly browse from their phones and I don’t want them to accidentally press on an image an have another page open. It’d be great if there was a plugin for this.

Thanks

Okay so when you copy a link from imgur - right click the gif/image and copy the “video location” - this gives you a slightly different url.

It works!

Awesome great to see you got that worked.

Please advise if you have more questions.

Have a fantastic day!
