Set noindex for Google structured data

Question

I'm using multiple blocks of structured data on my website:

<script type="application/ld+json">
    {
    "@context": "http://schema.org",
    "@type": "Event",
    "name": "Something",
    "url": "http://www.example.com/?id=123"
    }
</script>

This will show another bar under the search results of my website to directly visit the page to see more details about the event.

But if providing links like http://www.example.com/?id=123 Google will also show this link as normal link in search results.

But if setting noindex for this webpage Google will also refuse to list the events, won't it?

Does anybody know a solution?

Here's an image what I mean:

1) Are you sure that this event list comes from the structured data? As far as I know, Google parses this directly from the page content (typically from lists or tables). 2) What do you want to achieve? You want to noindex the event page, but keep the event linked in the search result for a parent page? — unor
1) Yes, I am. Google can only parse it if they're using special code. Or if you use structured data. 2) You're right, sounds strange, hard to explain. I think it's not possible. I'll try something other. — user6771756

Put a canonical link with value http://www.example.com/ on the http://www.example.com/?id=123 page. All pages with query parameters will be merged into http://www.example.com/ regarding rankings.
