link is a feature unsupported by the current plugin UI (#455). It's only mentioned superficially in the README.
I think SVGs embedded elsewhere as img simply never support onclick in modern browsers, if it ever worked, the risk is simply too great. It was added by @thomas-dee in c13abaa, without usage instructions or pull request, so there is no related discussion. #370 similarly expresses confusion:
That seems to indicate that the "link" parameter is only really useful if you are able to write a script that makes a web request to the icon page and embeds the response content into an HTML document or extracts the target link to create a new hyperlinked image. Such a use case isn't mentioned in the docs though.
That means only standalone access in a separate window is left. I guess it works with an iframe? That seems like a weird, narrow use case TBH.
This feature needs documentation how it is supposed to be used.
Are you interested in contributing a fix?
