Widget Title Linking

(@lou-friedman)

Could you provide a way to add links to widget titles? I have tried using available plugins for this, and while Widget Title Links works great for the normal Appearance > Widgets, it isn’t compatible with Pagebuilder.

I wouldn’t mind re-functioning the code as seen here because this would allow me to enter a title like “/events | Events Calendar” into Page builder, but that doesn’t work, probably becasue I don’t know the filter to modify:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Custom Widget Title Links
Plugin URI: http://www.playforward.net/
Description: Allows you to define a link that is wrapped around widget titles.
Version: 1.0
Author: Playforward | Dustin Dempsey
Author URI: http://www.playforward.net/
*/

function custom_widget_link( $title ) {

	// assume there's a link attached to the title because it starts with ww, http, or /
	if ( ( substr( $title, 0, 4) == "www." ) || ( substr( $title, 0, 4) == "http" ) || ( substr( $title, 0, 1) == "/" ) ) {

		// split our title in half
		$title_pieces = explode( "|", $title );

		// if there's two pieces
		if ( count( $title_pieces ) == 2 ) {

			// add http if it's just www
			if ( substr( $title, 0, 4) == "www." ) {
				$title_pieces[0] = str_replace( "www.", "http://www.", $title_pieces[0] );
			}

			// create new title from url and extracted title
			$title = '<a href="' . $title_pieces[0] . '" title="' . $title_pieces[1] . '">' . $title_pieces[1] . '</a>';
		}
	}

	return $title;
}
add_filter( "widget_title", "custom_widget_link" );

?>

I feel like line 301 of basic.php might be the place, but need a guiding hand:

// Filter the title
		$instance['title'] = apply_filters('widget_title', $instance['title'], $instance, $this->id_base);
		if ( !empty( $instance['title'] ) ) {
			echo $args['before_title'] . $instance['title'] . $args['after_title'];
		}
