Completely disable Add to Library dialog pop-up

Is there a way to stop Calibre from showing any kind of dialog pop-up when I open already-added books by double-clicking on their epub files in my file manager (aka "File Explorer" aka "Windows Explorer")? This is the only way I ever open books and it's super annoying to have the pop-up every time. Not only that but the highlighted choice is "Yes, add a duplicate" so if you're not paying close attention and press "Enter" you get a duplicate, which makes no sense because it's extremely rare that anyone would want duplicates.

If stopping the pop-up would also mean disabling the ability to add new books by double-clicking on them in the file manager, that's fine with me because it wouldn't bother me if I had to go into the Calibre library and click on "Add books". You would only do that once the first time you add a book, which isn't a big deal, whereas the pop-up happens every time you open a book.
