Unfortunately maximum configurability comes at a price. If I understand
you correctly then the following should solve your main problem.

Open a Konqueror window
Go to the "Settings" menu
select "Configure Konqueror"
A window will open w/ the "Behavior" pane active.
Uncheck the "Show file tips" checkbox and then press apply.

That should do it.

There are other settings available which let you fine tune your
configuration (ie the web page /link previews you mentioned), The
solution I described should get rid of all of the File Tip popups, to
just get rid of some of them you might want to look at the "Previews &
MetaData" section of the "Configure Konqueror" window as well

Have a great day
