Offers to execute JSON, txt files, etc., and this is somewhat inconvenient

It's not about the file type, but that it has the executable attribute set.
If these files are from a flash drive or SMB shares, you just need to mount with the noexec option.

"Offers to execute" - in the sense of a binary, like a program? Remove the executable flag from the file. And what did you show a screenshot of - well, they ask you what program to open this type of file, this is not "execution" at all. Customize what asks you about it.
