Help Disabling Links in Portfolio?

I have a client with a large portfolio of properties that I'd like to showcase.. but not in detail (no individual pages needed).

Each simply needs a single image with title, category and a few have brief descriptions. I tried just doing a simple image gallery, but that doesn't allow me to show the images with all 3 levels of text beneath ... that was too simple. I set up a Portfolio, customized the cards (as shown) and am happy with the result, but can't figure out how to disable each item from being clickable (which brings you to a blank page). Is there a quick and easy way to turn a/linking OFF of these items? 

Or suggestions on another way of displaying these 'cards' for each property without them linking out to another page? 

You can use CSS pointer-event to disable click

Can you share link to portfolio?
