Default Add link to email address that hides the actual address or makes it inaccessible to online bots

I have a word document that is accessible online and it contains a link to an email address a reader can click on. Is there any way to make the actual email itself hidden, only to show some other wording that links to it, or maybe to make it inaccessible to online bots? I don't want it being added to any email lists and so forth.

AFAIK bots don't look inside Word documents for links. In any event, the link has to be stored somewhere, even if it's not visible. Sure, you can change the link's display text, but that would only give a false sense of security.
