We'll create fresh WordPress site with Make Column Clickable Elementor installed. You have 20 minutes to test the plugin after that site we'll be deleted.
Simple: allow users to click in the whole column instead of individual elements.
Users will be able to click in the whole column when you add a link on that.
After install the plugin, open your Elementor editor, start editing a Column and under the Layout block you can add your custom link.
Works with any internal/external link, Lightbox and Elementor PRO popups trigger.
