How do I turn off phone number recognition on a Mac Preview?

How do I turn off phone number recognition on a Mac Preview?


Serial numbers, ISSNs, PubMed database PMIDs. These are not phone numbers. I'm not going to try to telephone anyone on my Mac. Surely, there is a way to disable "phone number" recognition.

Mac mini, macOS 13.0

You do not have to use Facetime.app calling on the Mac...
