Option to Turn Off Refresh Data Icon in Visualization Titles

It would be useful to be able to toggle off/on the display of the refresh data icon that appears in the Visualization Title for data tables that use data on-demand and are not set to load data automatically.

The use case here is that we have post job reporting templates with data connections set to allow analyst users to select a few parameters and then load data into the file. The file is then adjusted as needed for the specific project, then the tables are set to embedded and the Spotfire file is shared with a client. the issue is that even if the data is embedded for the tables, if one of the tables for the inputs is deleted or if anything changes the input values for the on-demand properties then visualizations that reference the on-demand table still display the refresh data icon in the title. Now in this case we do not want the consumer user refreshing the data themselves and so we cannot have this icon appear.

The current workaround options are not ideal because they either impact the look/feel of the file or add additional steps to the publishing/sharing workflow.
