Remove hyperlink from table (figure) number in LOT (LOF)

Question

Is it possible to remove the hyperlink from the table number (or the figure number) in the list of tables (or list of figures) in a way similar to that for chapters, sections and subsections using the etoc package?

For example,

\usepackage{etoc}
\makeatletter
\let\latchapter\l@chapter
\etocsetstyle{chapter}{}{}{\latchapter{\numberline{\etocthenumber}\etocname}{\etocpage}}{}
\makeatother

produces the following for the Introduction chapter:

such that the hyperlink has been removed from the number "1" on the left-hand side, which is what I want.

However, the list of Figures still has the hyperlink on the number:

So, how can I remove the hyperlink from "1.1"?

[EDIT] Here is a minimal working example:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage[colorlinks=true, linkcolor=purple]{hyperref}

\usepackage{etoc}
\makeatletter
\let\latchapter\l@chapter
\etocsetstyle{chapter}{}{}
{\latchapter{\numberline{\etocthenumber}\etocname}{\etocpage}}{}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents
\listoffigures

\chapter{Introduction}
\begin{figure}
    \caption[Arp~220 SED]{}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

If you drop everything from \makeatletter to \makeatother the ToC sets with a hyperlink covering the entire 1 Introduction. — Werner, Feb 21 '18 at 23:50
@Werner I wish to remove the hyperlink from the list of Figures - in a similar way to that done for the table of contents. Do you know how to do this? — ajrlewis, Feb 22 '18 at 00:04
For what it's worth, can you please provide the community with a minimal example that replicates your current setup? It should start with \documentclass and end with \end{document} and allow the community to copy-and-paste-and-compile your code and see exactly what you're seeing. — Werner, Feb 22 '18 at 00:30
@JohnKormylo This does not work ... I get the following error: "(/usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/tex/latex/etoc/etoc.sty (/usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/tex/latex/tools/multicol.sty)) ! Missing \endcsname inserted. \Etoc@figure@l.336" — ajrlewis, Feb 22 '18 at 08:18
@Werner I have added a minimal working example. As can be seen this adds a link to 1.1 before Arp 220 SED in the List of Figures, which I want to remove, please. Thanks for any help. — ajrlewis, Feb 22 '18 at 11:52

Apparently etoc only affects the TOC, not the LOF.

As it turns out, there is a hyperref option to disable page references, so I was able to use my solution from here without any changes.

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage[colorlinks=true, linkcolor=purple, linktocpage=false]{hyperref}

% begin code to remove section numbers from the TOC
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\@savenumber}{}% reserve global names
\newcommand{\@savetitle}{}

\def\contentsline#1#2#3#4{%
  %\hypertarget{toc.#4}{}% set up backlink
  \bgroup% separate \numberline from title
    \renewcommand{\numberline}[1]{\xdef\@savenumber{##1}}%
    \sbox0{#2}%
    \let\numberline=\@gobble
    \xdef\@savetitle{#2}%
  \egroup
  \begingroup
    \Hy@safe@activestrue
  \edef\x{\endgroup
    \def\noexpand\Hy@tocdestname{#4}%
  }\x
  \ifx\Hy@tocdestname\ltx@empty
    \csname l@#1\endcsname{#2}{#3}%
  \else
    \ifcase\Hy@linktoc % none
      \csname l@#1\endcsname{#2}{#3}%
    \or % section
      \csname l@#1\endcsname{\numberline{\@savenumber}%
        \hyper@linkstart{link}{\Hy@tocdestname}{\@savetitle}\hyper@linkend
      }{#3}%
    \or % page
      \def\Hy@temp{#3}%
      \ifx\Hy@temp\ltx@empty
        \csname l@#1\endcsname{#2}{#3}%
      \else
        \csname l@#1\endcsname{{#2}}{%
          \hyper@linkstart{link}{\Hy@tocdestname}{#3}\hyper@linkend
        }%
      \fi
    \else % all
      \def\Hy@temp{#3}%
      \ifx\Hy@temp\ltx@empty
        \csname l@#1\endcsname{\numberline{\@savenumber}%
          \hyper@linkstart{link}{\Hy@tocdestname}{\@savetitle}\hyper@linkend
        \egroup}{}%
      \else
        \csname l@#1\endcsname{\numberline{\@savenumber}%
          \hyper@linkstart{link}{\Hy@tocdestname}{\@savetitle}\hyper@linkend
        }{%
          \hyper@linkstart{link}{\Hy@tocdestname}{#3}\hyper@linkend
        }%
      \fi
    \fi
  \fi
}
\makeatother
