Video Sequencer - Prevent selection of strips in Preview window

When I click inside the video sequencer preview the underlying strip is selected. The new selection is updated in the sequencer window which is great.

However, there are times when I don’t want specific strips to be selected. At first I thought locking the channel the strip is on (which would be perfect place) would prevent selection but this is not the case.

Is there a way to prevent strip selection in the vse preview window?
