⌛ A11y Error: Link directly references an image

### Prerequisites

- [x] I have searched for similar issues in open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
- [x] I have troubleshooted my issue, and it still exists against the latest stable version of Elementor.

### Description

When using the **Basic Gallery** widget, setting the **Link** option to **Media File** causes the anchor tag to link directly to the image file. While this is expected behavior, it creates an accessibility issue, as flagged by Level Access (details below).

To address this, we attempted to use the **Attachment Page** option instead. However, selecting **Attachment Page** causes the **Lightbox** feature to disappear.

Currently, the only way to enable the Lightbox functionality is by using the **Media File** option, which is not accessible. Ideally, users should be able to use the **Attachment Page** while still having the **Lightbox** functionality available.

### Level Access Error Details

> ### Link directly references an image

> WCAG 2.2 Level A - 1.1.1 Non-text Content

> ## Description

> One or more A elements, without an ARIA-assigned role, not intentionally hidden in the DOM and available to assistive technologies, has an href attribute set to an image file reference.

> ## Why it matters

> When images lack accurate text alternatives, content conveyed visually will not be accurately communicated to users (such as screen reader users) who cannot perceive the image.

> ## Solution (What to do)

> Avoid providing a direct link to an image. Instead, ensure images are always contained within other appropriate pages. In situations where a direct link to an image is needed, an alternative equivalent to the image may be provided on the page that contains the image link or alternative equivalent may be part of the link text.

### Steps to reproduce

1) Install the [Level Access Chrome Extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/level-access-extension/kgbmnemfaellbfabmkmmilchbhiigpdi)
2) In the Elementor Editor, add a **Basic Gallery" widget.
3) Add some images to the gallery.
4) Set the **Link** option to **Media File**.
5) Set the **Lightbox** option to **Yes**.
6) Save your page and view it.
7) Click in the Level Access icon on your browser, and run a Quick Scan.
8) The error will appear in the results.

### Expected behavior

The **Lightbox** feature should remain available when selecting **Attachment Page** as the **Link** type.

### Isolating the problem

- [x] This bug happens when only the Elementor (and Elementor Pro) plugins are active.
- [x] This bug happens with the Hello Elementor theme active.
- [x] I can reproduce this bug consistently by following the steps I described above.
