How do I stop an Image Address from loading in the Browser?

Question

Ultimately, I want to be able to disable the Right Click option across a website I am working on. I have managed to disable this across the Blog Content and all of the Images that appear within the Blog.

I have noticed that when you enter the Image address directly into the Browser, the Right Click still works. I have tried modifying the Code Snippets I have, as well as various Plugins, but nothing seems to work. Would it be a case that it is not possible to disable the Right Click option when loading the original image, by entering its Image address into the Browser?

Assuming this is the case, is it possible to prevent the Image from loading when entering the Image Address directly within the browser?

If there is a way, would this prevent the image from loading in Blog Posts etc too?

No. You can’t control this.

Possibly, but requests for files on the server bypass WordPress entirely, so any solution would need to be implemented outside of WordPress.

If there is a way, would this prevent the image from loading in Blog Posts etc too?

In all likelihood, yes.
