Unfortunately, there is no integrated function in Elementor that makes it possible to make columns clickable and link them. Besides the plugin solution there is also a manual way.
Solution steps:
1) Create a button or link within this column and insert a link target.
2) Then assign a class to this element or link, e.g. „clickable“.
3) Finally, the following CSS code is added:
.elementor-column.clickable a:after {
content: "";
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
z-index: 2;
}
.clickable .elementor-widget, .clickable .elementor-widget-wrap {
position: static;
}
