This would be in this <TypoScript> section but as I understand you want
to remove the "<a href" altogether? This it won't work like that since
you are mapping a link to the "href" attribute, meaning the "<a href" is
always written (it's part of your template) regardless of whether you
did specify a link or not (if so you will have '<a href="" ...>' and
probably see the "button" in frontend.

It that's the problem, then you shouldn't map to href but create a whole
"<a" link with TemplaVoilà, for instance basically mapping to the <a>
instead of attribute-mapping to href and remove "10.typolink.returnLast
= url" to get a full link.
