Enhance your Elementor Website Builder with Addon Elementor Container Link by adding custom URL or link support to containers, sections, inner sections, and columns.

== Description ==

Addon Elementor Container Link extends the functionality of Elementor by introducing an anchor link field within containers, sections, inner sections, and columns. After installing and activating the Addon Elementor Container Link plugin, navigate to your Elementor editor. When editing a container, section, or column, you will find a new option labeled "Container Link" under the Layout tab.
