Just hit this issue, did you find any solution in the end?
This looks like a potential bug. It seems the block link can’t be selected in the ‘Editor’ when wrapped around an image without any padding. My images and links are also within a symbol.
As a temporary solution, if you add a bit of padding to the link block, you’ll then be able to select it in Editor mode by hovering over the padded area.
Hi folks, thanks for bringing this up - looks like the hover controls are showing over each other. It’s tricky for other edge cases similar to this, but we’ll look into a fix.
Is there an update on the topic?
Customers are not able to change the link settings of link block.
For example a link block with text inside of it, in the editor you can edit the text but not the link settings.
Working with buttons would solve the issue but restricts me of styling the element.
It would be great to have an element tree of editable elements (like in the designer, left panel + breadcrumbs bar on the bottom) that editors could use to select elements, like a link block wrapped around an image with no padding.
I don’t think Webflow is responding to bugs posted in the forums anymore. There are endless “we will get to it” posts by staff, then nothing. No bug reporting software, no list of open issues to check against. Seriously lame.
So if you experience this issue just open support ticket. Maybe when there is a couple hundred on the same issue someone will prioritize a fix.
It’s a missing feature. Well, in fact, it used to be a working feature, but then Webflow retired it. Much to annoyance of site owners, and developers facing them.

Unfortunately, Webflow keep investing in high level development – although many announced functionality additions take ages to materialise (e.g. a lot of the stuff announced at Webflow Conference last year haven’t shipped yet). But many seemingly obvious small feature improvements don’t get looked at – at least that’s what it look like to me.
Trying to get useful answers on the state of such specifics seems impossible. You get ‘we may…’ and ‘we’ll pass on…’ but no more than that from the support staff. I’ve given up raising issues.

The marketing team and client are annoyed that they cannot change the link on the image.
Please, help all of us who have any client and marketing teams.
Still facing this issue, seems like it should be a relatively simple fix that would have a huge quality of life improvement for clients using the Editor interface. I have a client that changes her mind often and now am in the position of responding to each of her requests to change link blocks. I’m almost at the point of just redesigning the entire homepage so she can have easy access. What a mess @webflow.
