What the author says it does
Gallery Custom Links allows you to link images from galleries to a specified URL. Tested with WordPress Gallery, Gutenberg, the Meow Gallery and others. The official page is here: Gallery Custom Links.
Usage
Two fields are added to your images, in your Media Library: Link URL and Link Target (but also, Link Rel and Arial Label). If, at least, the Link URL is set up, this image will link to that URL every time it is used within a gallery. Lightbox will be automatically disabled for those images.
To do this, the Gallery Custom Links needs to analyze/rewrite your content. Depending on your WordPress, you can pick the most appropriate method (known as engine).
- HtmlDomParser: Very reliable. It will rewrite your HTML so that the links are hardcoded.
- DiDom: Same as HtmlDomParser but faster. However, your HTML needs to be perfectly valid.
- Javascript: This is the fastest, but the links won’t be hardcoded. Only the visitor will experience the links.
Compatibility
It currently works with the native WP Gallery, the Gutenberg Gallery, and the Meow Gallery. It should actually work with any gallery plugin using the ‘gallery’ class and Responsive Images (src-set). Let me know if you would like more galleries to be supported, it should be easy.
Filters
The opening of the plugin's own description. The full text, installation notes and changelog are on its WordPress.org page.
Latest changelog entry
- Fix: Security: Prevent a duplicated attribute from being written unquoted by the page parser.
Screenshots
Link any gallery photo to a page or a URL, here with a call-to-action button on each image. 
Set the link right in the Media Library: URL, target, rel and an aria label for each image. 
Pick the parsing engine, and turn on call-to-action buttons with your own label.

Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin. The author takes donations at their donate page.
