Do not show Alternatives popups on Journal menu pages

Lean LIBrary currently triggers Alternatives (Mostly ILL) popups on Journal menu pages such as below.

https://pubs.aip.org/aip/jap/issue/136/20

https://faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/15306860

https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/geology/issue/52/12

This popup is misleading and irrelevant as Lean Library detects and acts on the first DOI which is detected on a list of articles users are viewing at this point.

Additional feedback from Rene:
My recommendations would be:

  1. Ignore DOI’s or ISBNS that are part of URL links on pages. The article/book is on another page, so the popup should be displayed there, not beforehand. Only when a DOI is displayed as readable text (or a clickable link) it should be considered.

  2. Ignore DOI that are incomplete, invalid, or buried somewhere in javascript code.

Suppress LL popups on search result pages, when multiple DOI are shown. LL doesn’t support links to multiple articles, so it doesn’t make sense to provide access to some article that randomly appeared on top.
