Airdrop - turn off option 'open in photos'?

When receiving files via Airdrop, a window opens, informing that a file is coming in. In the little wondow, there is the Accept button. Clicking that opens two options: save to downloads, and open in photos.

I never use photos, don't know why anyone would but fine, and so i would like to remove that option.

Is there a way to?

Have been searching and can find nothing about it.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.2

Unfortunately, there is no way at this time to remove the option to save AirDrop content to photos. Apple does welcome feedback if you would like to leave a suggestion for that feature to be added.
