No, the user profile setting to disable conversions to Hyperlinks is
persistent, it is not just 'per document'. 

In addition to setting within a module from the AutoCorrect dialog (Tools ->
AutoCorrect -> AutoCorrectOptions -> Options tab) simply edit with a text
editor in the "registrymodifications.xcu" user profile directly. Or can be set
by LO GUI with the Tools -> Options -> 'Open Expert Configuration' dialog.

Either method, the stanza in user profile to edit is
"SetInetAttribute"--setting boolean 'True' or 'False'--at the two locations for
either while typing [AutoCorrect] or for post-editing
[Writer/AutoFunction/Format/Option].

That has already been implemented at 6.4.0--for bug 62561, and bug 111707.
Remove the Hyperlink from context menu with the URL selected.

Generic command (Windows, Draw, Impress) is .unoRemoveHyperlink
Calc command is .unoDeleteShapeHyperlink

Still some warts--e.g. selecting _multiple_ Hyperlinks and remove the link
while leaving the text intact (with or without its formatting) and lots more
found on the bug 107733 META.

I kind of agree--the automatic conversion to Hyperlinks has been an annoyance
to me, but then I expect to <Ctrl>+Z immediately, making the change would
disrupt workflow most folks expect.
