Links Automatically Return After Being Broken

$

Excel 2013.

I have a template file (.xltx) that I am trying to modify to remove links to external files.  In two cells I have references to labels (=_MIA097 and =_MIB097) that exist in an external file and somehow these are linked to that file.  I DO NOT want them linked to any file right now as I am working in the template.  So I select the two cells, edit links, break the links, and the actual values of the data in the external file are now in the cell.  I now want to be able to put the label references back (e.g., =_MIA097) WITHOUT Excel automatically linking them back to the document I just unlinked from.  I cannot get that to happen.  Anyone know how I can remedy this?

P.S.  I use this template to programmatically create a sheet in a workbook.  These label references will then be programmatically tided to corresponding cells in the workbook being created.  I DO NOT want the template file to have ANY external link.  Just the dummy label references.
