 * I would like to request an option to allow custom links for your background images.

 * Hey,
    I looked into it and created a working php/js code which applied a link
   to the background image however because of the nature of the plugin it doesn’t
   make much sense/it doesn’t work right. The problem is that the background image
   uses a layer which is behind the content and you can’t click links which are 
   part of the background layer. The result is that the link is applied to the image
   and the code is correct however you can’t click the link because it’s overlapped
   by the content layer. If you set the bg layer to z-index 0 or 1 the image is 
   clickable but the content is overlapped and the images can’t be considered as
   backgrounds anymore.

 * Looks like this guy has done it. Maybe you should check out his plugin.

 * Maybe I’m missing something but this plugin just adds a pure css background (
   not scaled to fullwidth) – the url option doesn’t allow you to set a link but
   you can add external images by inserting the url to the image. This is also possible
   with wp-backgrounds – just paste the url in the “add background” text field.

 * Roger that. The link doesn’t necessarily have to be attached to the background
   image. It seems as though this should be able to be worked out through the z-
   index as you mentioned, but may require a specific edit for each theme.
 * For example the content problem in which you describe, if there is no z-index
   value assigned to the content CSS style then you would have problems like you
   mentioned.
 * Any other clever ideas for getting a background link into this plugin?
