Elementor Wrapper Link: Make Any Container, Section or Widget Clickable
A wrapper link in Elementor makes a whole element clickable. You give a container, section, column or widget one URL, and a click anywhere inside it opens that page. Master Addons adds this as a free Wrapper Link option on every element, with Dynamic Tags, new tab and nofollow settings.
Link Any Container, Column, or Widget
Wrapper Link adds a Link field to every Elementor container, section and column (in the Layout tab) and to every widget (in the Content tab). Paste a URL, such as a page on your site, an external service or a file download, and the whole element becomes the clickable area. A pointer cursor appears on hover, so visitors can tell the card is a link.
- Works on Elementor containers, sections, columns and widgets, including widgets from other addons.
- No CSS or HTML. Paste the URL into the Link field.
- Good for clickable cards, service boxes, team profiles, full-width banners and logo blocks, for example when you build a footer template in Elementor.
Link options and dynamic links
The Link field has the usual Elementor options. You can open the link in a new tab, mark it nofollow, or pick a Dynamic Tag so the URL comes from your site’s data, such as a post link.
- Open in new window and Add nofollow sit right under the URL.
- Dynamic Tags work in the Link field, so one template can link each card to its own post. The Dynamic Tags extension adds more sources to pick from.
- Want a linked banner to show only to some visitors? Combine it with Display Conditions (Pro).
- The click is handled by a small script that loads only on pages using Wrapper Link. Search engines don’t read it as a normal link, so keep a real text link inside the card if the target page needs to be crawled.
Elementor's container link vs Wrapper Link
Elementor can already turn a container into a link. Set the container’s HTML Tag to a (link) in the Layout tab and add a URL. That covers a simple card. Wrapper Link handles the cases the built-in option does not.
| Elementor container link | Master Addons Wrapper Link | |
|---|---|---|
| Works on | Containers | Containers, sections, columns and widgets |
| How the link works | Real <a> tag in the HTML | Click handled by a script |
| Dynamic Tags in the URL | Yes | Yes |
| Links inside the element | Invalid HTML (a link inside a link) | A click anywhere, including on an inner button, opens the wrapper URL |
| Seen as a link by search engines | Yes | No |
Pick Elementor’s option when you want search engines to follow the link. Pick Wrapper Link for sections, columns and widgets, or when you want a block clickable without changing its HTML tag.

Frequently Asked Questions For Wrapper Link
What is a wrapper link in Elementor?
It is a link applied to a whole element instead of a single piece of text. With Master Addons Wrapper Link, a click anywhere inside a container, section, column or widget opens the URL you set.
How is Wrapper Link different from Elementor's container link?
Elementor’s own option turns a container into an <a> tag, so it only works on containers, and links placed inside it make the HTML invalid. Wrapper Link also works on sections, columns and widgets, and it handles the click with a script without changing the element’s tag.
Is Wrapper Link good for SEO?
Wrapper Link is for visitors. The click is handled by a script, so search engines don’t see a link there and the nofollow option has no SEO effect. If the target page needs to be crawled, also put a normal text link to it inside the card.
Can a linked container still have buttons or links inside it?
It can, but a click on those inner buttons also opens the wrapper URL. If a card needs two different destinations, link the widgets one by one instead of the whole container.
