That involves disabling multiple tables.
At least from the UI standpoint, we probably, instead, want to be able to disable a given protocol's handoff, so that, for *all* places where its dissector hands off its payload to another dissector, whether that's through a dissector table, a heuristic dissector table, or a direct call via call_dissector() etc., it ends up calling the data dissector instead.
