  I think it would really enhance the gallery feature if custom links were available for photos within a gallery. Many forum posts have also discussed this option. Is there any way to integrate this plugin into the gallery feature?

  We can’t install plugins here on WordPress.com.

  Hope you don’t mind, I’ve added your post to my forum thread here:

  Thank you so much for the prompt response. Being that plugins cannot be enabled, can you suggest another way to accomplish this? I am just looking for a way to link to other pages within the same site. Any suggestions would be helpful!

  You’re very welcome.

  I’ve posted 2 workarounds on my Gallery demo site, but that is just what they are, workarounds. You can find them here:

  Using Gallery image captions: http://agallerydemo.wordpress.com/2012/07/28/gallery-as-an-index-page/

  Using a table instead of a Gallery:

  One other thing you might consider doing is changing themes. There are a number of them that use a grid layout on the front/home page of the site which will, of course, lead your visitors to the relevant post. No need for a Gallery at all.
