Hover Only – Disable 'Click' on Image

I love the way my images are displaying when you hover over them with the ‘scale’ parameter. However, I DO NOT want to use a lightbox when you actually click on the image. I want nothing to happen (no lightbox or opening in another tab) — just to have it hover and zoom in/out, that’s all.

Is there any way using a parameter in the shortcode or by modifying the css to prevent this from happening?

Thanks much!
