 Hi,
 I want to use the new Image-Widget from WordPress 4.8. I define a Link on
 the Image, but after safing every spacial character like .:/?# are striped
 from the URL.

 The a href is also not inserted in the DOM around the Image nor Title.

 Do you need further information?

 Best Regards,

 Stefan
