controlling acceptsFirstResponder

Is there a way to override the acceptance of FirstResponder without
subclassing?  Something like setAcceptsFirstResponder?

   I have an NSTableView which I want to respond to clicks without
becoming the FirstResponder.  From the documentation it appears that I
could subclass the object and override acceptsFirstResponder in order to
accomplish this, but this would be the only reason that I would create
such a subclass since everything else has been accomplished through
datasource, delegate, and notification handling.  This seems like a
trivial something that should be obtainable without needing a subclass,
but my search has turned up nothing but subclassing so far.
