[Framers] Frame Properties

[Lin Sims]

Re your request to be able to make an xref unclickable (FRMAKER-5971): I
really don't think that's possible (but I am not a software engineer).

What you can do for now, however, is create an xref format that uses the
<Default ¶ Font> building block. That will make it look like the rest of
the surrounding text. Yes, it'll still be clickable in the PDF, but it
won't visibliy jump out at the user that this is a link rather than just
text unless they pass their cursor over it.
