It could be possible with .kfx but the old Kindle models don't support it, so in those device you only could deal with .mobi and .azw3/.kf8. IMHO you can't do anything to handle that "issue". Maybe Hitch (the specialist in the Amazon's formats in this forum and she knows a lot about Kindle) can tell you something different but in this case I doubt it.

EDIT: I don't think it's a good idea to disable text decoration for links in e-ink devices. There you don't have colours (just shades of gray) and it would be difficult to readers to know where there is a link without underlined words.

I wanted to second this--in fact, I believe fairly
strongly that getting cute with coloration for links is asking for trouble. People are acclimated to seeing links in blue. Not to mention, when you mess with font colors, you can run afoul of things like NightMode, as well.
And yes, in eInks, if you don't have underlining, how the hell would ANYONE know that the text=links? I go through this conversation at least once a day with a client, for the same reasons. Go with what people know and understand. I had a client that INSISTED that her TOC "links" be black, right? I warned her, I tried refusing to do it, but...client is always right, right?
Wanna guess which book we got
back, in under 90 days, due to a KQN, over the links being black and not underlined? YUP. Why? Because customers complained that the TOC "wasn't interactive." It was--but they didn't
see it that way. They never even tried it, because it was out of context. Not blue, not underlined.
Offered FWIW.
