Disable being able to filter by clicking on value in visual

I know I can go into edit interactions and remove the interactions between all of my visuals but I was wondering if there was another way (preferably) an easier way than having to click on every graph and edit the interactions manually? I was thinking there may be an option on the visual itself to prevent the user from selecting any one point.

Well, you can always create a rectangle with no border and 100% transparent. Put it over the visuals you don't want clicked on and set it to be on top.

I wish this were true but it doesn't seem to work. Even with "Disabling cross-highlighting/filtering" checked, you still have to turn off interactions for every individual chart. It's very finicky and time consuming.
