Intuit thinks their way of doing thing is best in class.  You can customize the contents but EL will have to stay, it would appear.

If you decide that Intuit Link is for you, I'd simple duplicate the template, then replace the standard EL with something that would ask your clients to "accept" that EL has been executed separately outside of Intuit Link.

That would be a simple workaround rather than talking to support (for your heart's health unless you have low blood pressure and need a boost or that you have too much time on your hand).
