Can Still Assign Term to Linked Post

[turtlepod]

Describe the bug

Still able to add term in linked post (using Gutenberg)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Distribute a post to another site in network, e.g from Site A (original) to Site B
2. Edit the post in Site B.
3. Should not be able to edit the post/add term in edit screen (need to unlink first)
4. However, we can do that by clicking the label of the term.

Expected behavior

Should not be able to do this.

Additional context

@turtlepod can you confirm the version of WordPress that this is appearing in?

[turtlepod]

WP 5.2.2, no gutenberg

I noticed this applies to tags too in the most recent version of WordPress, the tags can be added in the distributed copy of the post but not removed.

If the origin post is updated, the custom terms are subsequently removed.

@jeffpaul I noticed that @peterwilsoncc tried to deal with this issue in #1069. Even though his approach has side-effects. I'm pretty sure this cannot be done with just CSS. Are we interested in investing more time on @peterwilsoncc 's fix to implement a JS solution or are we good with that?
