Custom links in Elementor Image Carousel

Description

There is a WordPress limitation (no custom link on images) that makes impossible to add custom links on each image in an image carousel or image gallery like the one in Elementor free version.

This plugin just overrides WordPress attachment fields and Elementor Image Carousel widget to let you add custom links to each image in the carousel.
Basically, it adds two custom fields to each image in WordPress Media Library (Custom link and “Open in new tab?” checkbox).
Then it hooks into elementor image carousel widget just before it’s rendered on frontend.

Usage & Documentation

No options, no premium version, no bullshit. Just activate or deactivate.

Note: You have to enable the option “Link” in the Elementor Image Carousel widget and set it to: “Media Files” in order for it to work.

This works well for individual external links via carousel images, but unfortunately didn't do what I want.I'm looking for a way to have different thumbnails and enlarged images that open in Lightbox. I want the large images watermarked, but the thumbs in the carousel "clean", if anyone knows?

Works absolutly great and very simple - Just set the added field Custom link to a URL for all images and activate/change image carousel Link field from None to Media File.

I always appreciate simple plugins like this that are free and solve something so simple. As someone with very little programming knowledge, I thank you.
