TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

Advanced Link Block is for Gutenberg editor users who want to wrap blocks like paragraphs, buttons, or images in clickable links. It solves the limitation of Gutenberg's native linking by adding advanced link types (URL, email, phone, file, raw) and attributes like target, rel, and download, along with frontend logic that simulates real anchor wrapping.

  • Wrap blocks in clickable links
  • Multiple link types (URL, Email, Phone, File, Raw)
  • Dynamic options per link type
  • Link attributes: target, rel, download
  • WordPress media picker for file links
  • Custom cursor styles and display behavior
  • Frontend click logic bypasses Gutenberg limitations

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Advanced Link Block

Yes — you can nest any type of block, but for legal and technical reasons the link itself is simulated using JavaScript. That means it works visually and functionally, but you can’t always rely on raw HTML serialization.
Yes absolutely - the block becomes a mini editor, allowing you to add more then one block which will flow similar to the rest of your page. You can add visual clarity by adding groups, grid and other organisation blocks inside the editor.
Yes! In fact, this is a perfect way to link button blocks to downloadable files, phone numbers, email addresses and more.
We allow saving even if a field is incomplete or a setting is mismatched — you'll just see a friendly warning.
Yes, the plugin uses standard HTML5 <a> tags and simulates wrapping behavior without breaking accessibility. Keyboard interaction can be enhanced via script updates if needed.
