# Can a gallery item link to an external URL?

- **Media** – yes, the URL field in the image’s settings. The item then links there instead of opening the lightbox.
- **Posts** – items link to the post. With Pro’s Advanced click action you can send specific formats elsewhere, but not to a custom URL per post.
- **Social** – items link to the original post on the network.
