 When using the Image Box widget in Elementor, adding a link only wraps the
 image element (<img>), while the title and description remain outside the
 anchor tag.

 As a result, only the image/icon is clickable, while the associated text
 content (title and description) is not. This leads to inconsistent user
 experience and reduced usability, especially in cases where the entire
 element is expected to function as a single clickable block (e.g., contact
 information such as email or phone).

 This behavior can be confusing for users, as the visual design suggests
 that the full component is interactive, but only a small portion (the
 image) actually responds to clicks.
