Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview
About this plugin
Advanced Link Block gives you powerful control over anchor ( <a> ) links in the Gutenberg block editor.
It allows you to wrap any blocks — such as paragraphs, buttons, or images — inside a clickable link block.
Features include:
Choose from various link types: standard URL, Email, Phone, File, or Raw
Dynamically show relevant options for each type
Add link attributes like target, rel, and download
Use the WordPress media picker to insert file links
Apply custom cursor styles and display behavior (block, contents, flex)
Frontend click logic simulates real anchor wrapping (bypassing Gutenberg limitations)
This plugin is ideal for users who want cleaner, more accessible link wrappers and advanced control over how links behave — all directly within the Gutenberg editor.
