I would also be interested if there is a way to change the placement for the closing so that it can come after the closing </div to the <div class=”mega-menu-widget”> that holds the images. That way the link also includes the image as its hotspot.
<li class="menu-item-14278 menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page default sf-std-menu sf-menu-item-html">
<a href="http://impactmulti.staging.wpengine.com/business/flags/i-catcher-blade/">Blade
<div class="mega-menu-widget"><img src="http://impactmulti.staging.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Blades-220x175.png" class="attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image" alt="Blades"></div>
</a>
</li>
Perhaps there is a function that I could put in my child theme functions.php that would re-write the output of the function that handles this?
