Click on photo to open URL in lightbox

LightHunters

Hi there!

I wondered if it is possible to open the URL entered behind a photo in a "lightbox-like popup window". My thought was to place several (portrait) shots on my site, and select "Action on Click: Go to custom URL".
Here I would enter the URL of this posting on Instagram for example. I know that I can open the window in a new tab, but is it possible to open it like a lightbox, or just as an overlayed window, so my website is still slightly visible?

Thanks in advance
Tim

Not sure I follow. Are you wanting to have a photo(s) to be "clickable" to open into a lightbox? If so, yes just drop a Single Photo Block and select 'open to lightbox'.

If that isn't what you want, then I need more info.

I want to open an custom URL when clicking on a single image, in this case the link leads to Instagram.
But I´d like the URL to be opened as a lightbox / popup, so the user isn´t fully send away from my website & distracted by the external instagram website.

I can't see any way to do that. If the custom URL is going to Instagram, then it's going to Instagram and not your SM site.
