Link Options

The Link options group turns an entire module into a clickable hyperlink, directing visitors to another page, section, or external URL.

Overview

The Link options group provides a simple way to make any supported module function as a hyperlink without needing to wrap it in an anchor tag manually. When a Module Link URL is set, clicking anywhere on the module navigates the visitor to the specified destination. This is commonly used for card-style layouts, image modules, or blurb modules where the entire element should be clickable rather than just a specific text link or button within it.

The settings are located under the Content tab of the module's settings panel, keeping them close to the other content-related options. You specify the destination URL and choose whether the link should open in the same browser window or in a new tab. Opening in the same window is the default and works well for internal navigation, while opening in a new tab is appropriate for external links where you want to keep the visitor on your site.

This feature is distinct from button links or text hyperlinks that exist within a module's content. The Module Link wraps the entire element, so every clickable area within the module will navigate to the specified URL.

Module Link URL Text input Specifies the destination URL. When set, the entire module becomes clickable. Accepts internal paths, full URLs, and anchor links.
Module Link Target Dropdown Controls how the link opens. Options are In the Same Window (default, navigates in the current tab) and In a New Tab (opens the destination in a new browser tab while preserving the current page).

Which Elements Use This

The Link options group is available on modules in the Divi 5 Visual Builder that support module-level linking. The settings are found under the Content tab of the module's settings panel.
