Advanced Link Block gives you powerful control over anchor (<code><a></code>) 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:
<ul>
<li>Choose from various link types: standard URL, Email, Phone, File, or Raw</li>
<li>Dynamically show relevant options for each type</li>
<li>Add link attributes like <code>target</code>, <code>rel</code>, and <code>download</code></li>
<li>Use the WordPress media picker to insert file links</li>
<li>Apply custom cursor styles and display behavior (block, contents, flex)</li>
<li>Frontend click logic simulates real anchor wrapping (bypassing Gutenberg limitations)</li>
</ul>
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.
