How to make Section and Column Clickable in Elementor?

If you’re working with Containers in Elementor, you can easily make them clickable by following the simple steps outlined below. This can be a great way to improve navigation and make your design more interactive.

Usually, to navigate from one page to another, call to action components like Button, Linked Images are used. By clicking on it, they redirect you to the target page. However, what if you want to make a complete section or column clickable in Elementor? 

We have a solution for this in our plugin Elementor Addon Elements. 

No matter how many widgets there are or which types of widgets are in your section or column, just assign a link, and it will open when a user clicks on it anywhere within that Section/Column. 

You can make Sections and Columns clickable in Elementor by simply assigning links to them. As soon as you click on the section /column, you are navigated to a new page whose link is assigned in the URL.

Making sections and columns clickable in Elementor is really helpful when you don’t want buttons and linked images to be used as the navigation object. Sometimes, there are certain sections where you do not want to use buttons, so direct section and column links can be used to display more information about the content.

Using this, you can set a hyperlink for the whole section and column, not only for the content in the section/column. You can create a nicely styled box that links to another page as soon as you click on it.

• Customize Link Settings: You can choose to open the link in a new tab, mark it as no-follow, or add custom attributes by clicking the settings icon next to the link field.
• Save and Preview: Save your changes and check the container on the live page to ensure the link works as expected.
