Image Box widget link applies only to image, not entire content

Description

When using the Image Box widget in Elementor, adding a link only wraps the image element (<img>), while the title and description remain outside the anchor tag.

As a result, only the image/icon is clickable, while the associated text content (title and description) is not. This leads to inconsistent user experience and reduced usability, especially in cases where the entire element is expected to function as a single clickable block (e.g., contact information such as email or phone).

This behavior can be confusing for users, as the visual design suggests that the full component is interactive, but only a small portion (the image) actually responds to clicks.

Hi and welcome to WordPress Core Trac!

Elementor had a feature request for linking the full Image Box widget:
​https://github.com/elementor/elementor/issues/5650

I'll close this as invalid because it does not relate to WordPress Core.
