Make entire thumb clickable

I am using the carouseltxt theme on the "featured Events" section of our homepage. I was wondering if there is a way for me to make the entire thumbnail clickable to the story instead of just the article title?

You can do it via template override as well. You just need to move the <a> tag from the title to above the item container. In this case, you only need to modify the carouselxt.php file on line 194 as follows:
<h4 class="mfp_carouselxt_title">
<a href="<?php echo $item->link; ?>" itemprop="url">
<?php echo JHtmlString::truncate(strip_tags($item->title), $title_truncate); ?>
</a>
</h4>
into this
<h4 class="mfp_carouselxt_title">
<?php echo JHtmlString::truncate(strip_tags($item->title), $title_truncate); ?>
</h4>

Then, add the following code:
<a href="<?php echo $item->link; ?>" itemprop="url">
before line 179
<div class="mfp_carouselxt_item">
And its closing tag on line 282 before:
<?phpendforeach; ?>
