I looked at using lift struts, but could not find them short enough for my liking, so I went this route.

Found a good spot on the trunk wall to mount

Used a brass bushing in the hinge bar

Drilled and mounted

Then cut carpet to complete, about a 45 min job

The "pop" of the release of the latch is still there, but the trunk lid does not lift. It does not effect the way it works, trunk still opens normally, absolutely no adverse effects with this mod.
