Make entry-titles on recent posts page linkable

Is there a way to make the title (entry-title/entry-header) of the post on the recent post page linkable?

Furthermore, can I make it link to another page? I would like the icon to link to the post page, but I want the title to link to another page, not local to my website.
I found this:

…but it seems to be specific to featured pages. I would like accomplish something similar for individual recent post. I assume I could add links to some function per post id.
