  Hi there,

  CSS cannot be used to add links, no. Only HTML can do that.

  :( Thank you @kokkieh.

  AFAIK, CSS can be used to insert content before and after an HTML element. Any possible CSS code using which the a href element can be added to this image?

  CSS can be used to insert content, yes, but text content only, into an existing HTML element. You can’t use it to insert an HTML element itself. That requires either JavaScript or editing the HTML directly.
