Removing permalinks from Side Cart items

It’s important for our website that cart items do not contain permalinks to their product pages. There are ways to remove links from items in the Woocommerce cart such as this:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_cart_item_permalink', '__return_null' );

I have copied the relevant template to my theme but I was wondering, would the plugin author be open to enabling a filter in an upcoming release so it can be done in a similar way to WooCommerce cart?

Thanks.
