How to Hide 'No Records Linked'

Is there a way to display nothing (that is, the cell remains blank) when a linked cell is not linked to anything. Currently it shows “No Records Linked” every time which is extremely distracting for work flow. An empty cell implies no records linked and is much cleaner. ANY help would be appreciated.

I have already considered a work around of adding a lookup field. However, that gives me a column not directly editable so defeats the purpose of creating a lookup field as I have to keep the original column visible with all the ‘no records linked’.

Thank you for sharing your inputs. We will consider this to improve the links feature. We will be reintroducing LinkToAnotherRecord feature soon - which essentially will take away this problem.

That would be amazing, thank you!
