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.

This plugin will animate a regular anchor navigation with a smooth scrolling effect.
Each time a link is clicked, the whole screen will gradually scroll to the targeted element, instead of “jumping” as it’d normally do.
jQuery.ScrollTo is used for the animation.

WP LocalScroll

This plugin will animate a regular anchor navigation with a smooth scrolling effect.
