// Wraps the entire element in an `<a>` tag and sets it's `href` attribute.
"data-link-wrap": function (input, target) {
  var a = document.createElement("a");
  a.setAttribute("href", input);
  a.insertAdjacentElement("afterbegin", target.cloneNode(true));
  target.parentNode.replaceChild(a, target);
