[Plugin: jeba waterwheel carousel slider]

I searched all over for help, seems this plugin is not supported either.

This slider utilizes a post’s featured image but from what I can see does not have a place to include a link from those images. I am attempting to add a place/way to easily add in the url wanted for each image. My thinking was that I could utilize the one of the following fields: title, post, alt.. to place the desired url into the code but any of the ways I could come up with crashed the plugin or simply output the code I included. I’m a bit lost and definitely out of my comfort zone on this so any help or guidance in the correct direction would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a snippet of the code:

$list = '<h1>'.$title.'</h1>
    <div id="carousel">';
	while($q->have_posts()) : $q->the_post();
		$idd = get_the_ID();
		$jeba_img_large = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'large-portfolio' );

		$list .= '
			<strong><a href="#"></strong><img src="'.$jeba_img_large[0].'" id="item-'.$idd.'" /></a>
		';
	endwhile;
	$list.= '</div>
    <a href="#" id="prev"></a>  <a href="#" id="next"></a>';
	wp_reset_query();
	return $list;
}
add_shortcode('carousel', 'jeba_slider_shortcode_d');
