There is - it is `systemd-inhibit --what:handle-lid-switch` or possibly I
didn't understand what specifically you have talked about.

I think this is the entire point of the "handle-lid-switch" inhibit action is
to inhibit handling of the lid switch - it doesn't matter if you think it is a
bad idea, if the user has specifically told you that this is what they want to
do, using the API they have for doing that, and all other systems respect that
(e.g. systemd, or - I'm going to say without actually testing - GNOME) - then
PowerDevil should also respect that.

Granted - I'll go open a different ticket for the lid switch inhibition
support, and I will consider this ticket as "RESOLVED WORKSFORME" - though its
not my ticket to close and there are maintainers around now, so I'll keep my
greedy little paws off of the status selector ;-)
