Hi there!
I am not clear on which part of the sidebar you are looking to assign a link to, but i hope this will help you achieve your goal.Use the tag to assign a link to a text:
Example:
<a href="https://wordpress.com">Link to WordPress</a>
In the above example, the text Link to WordPress is linked to the web address wordpress.com using the href attribute.Example form your blog:
If you want to assign a link to one of the text of the MORE ABOUT LEAFBORN section on the sidebar, follow this example:
<p>To learn more about the book of Leaf Born, unique greeting cards, and our approach to making <a href="https://leafborn.wordpress.com/">handmade paper</a>, see the About tab.</p>
In the above example, the text handmade paper is linked to your blog leafborn.wordpress.com using the href attribute.You can read more about the tag here: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_a.asp
Hope this helps :)

This is exactly what I needed, thank you! Apologies that it inserted leafborn–it’s for a new blog (Mouthing Off). I’m not seeing the blog mention from my working window, so maybe it’s automatically included in my request for help? Anyway, thanks so much!

OK, still having a bit of a problem. The blog is mouthoffblog.wordpress.com
I’m trying to include two short sentences under the text widget called “Want to help out?” with each of the sentences covering an embedded link. Here’s what I wrote
Join the friends giving local care.
But only the first one worked and then wordpress customizer replaced the front bracket with < and the quote with " in the second one. So what appears then is the whole html text (with the replaced bits) rather than just the sentence (with live link). What am I missing? -
Oh dear, I can see I’m in way over my head because the html I inserted in the 1:01AM entry above just shows up as a link…confused. And then the code I wrote didn’t show up. I’m pretty lost now. And not finding a way to insert a button as a widget. Not sure where to turn now.

Okay, let me try to help you one step at a time.
I tried to understand the problem with your blog http://mouthoffblog.wordpress.com, and let me know if i am wrong…There’s widget with the title “Want to help out?” with the code as
<a href="https://my.lotsahelpinghands.com/community/tauquis-mom/request-to-join">Join the friends giving local care</a>And there’s some issue you are facing when publishing it, because of some replaced symbols like < and the “, right?
Well… if i understood your problem correctly, check this out: https://en.support.wordpress.com/links/text-widget-links/
and let me know if this solves your issue, i will be happy to help out :)
