## Beschreibung

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.

## FAQ

### Can I nest any block inside this link block?

Yes — you can nest any type of block, but for legal and technical reasons the link
itself is simulated using JavaScript. That means it works visually and functionally,
but you can’t always rely on raw HTML serialization.

### Can I nest multiple blocks inside this one?

Yes absolutely – the block becomes a mini editor, allowing you to add more then 
one block which will flow similar to the rest of your page. You can add visual clarity
by adding groups, grid and other organisation blocks inside the editor.

### Does it work with buttons and images?

Yes! In fact, this is a perfect way to link button blocks to downloadable files,
phone numbers, email addresses and more.

### What if I select the wrong link type?

We allow saving even if a field is incomplete or a setting is mismatched — you’ll
just see a friendly warning.

### Is this accessible?

Yes, the plugin uses standard HTML5 `<a>` tags and simulates wrapping behavior without
breaking accessibility. Keyboard interaction can be enhanced via script updates 
if needed.
