ExternalHyperLink not working with images

The code from the documentation (https://github.com/dolanmiu/docx/blob/master/demo/35-hyperlinks.ts) beginning at line 84 is not working for me:

new Paragraph({
  children: [
      new ExternalHyperlink({
          children: [
              new ImageRun({
                  data: fs.readFileSync("./demo/images/image1.jpeg"),
                  transformation: {
                      width: 100,
                      height: 100,
                  },
              }),
          ],
          link: "http://www.google.com",
      }),
  ],
})

When I copy this very snippet into my code, the image is rendered as expected but there is no link being integrated. It seems like the ExternalHyperLink element is not working specifically with images, as it works flawlessly when trying to add the link to a TextRun element. I tested also if it was a problem related to the code being positioned within the header section but the behaviour is the same when shifting the code to the body of the document.

I am using the latest version of docx. Is this a bug or can you give an advice what is going wrong here?

Dear @dolanmiu, thanks for the further effort you put into it. I’m glad you could reproduce it - I checked the provided files and can confirm that it is also the same behaviour for me. The finding regarding the a:hlinkClick property seems indeed promising.

As I would love to use the feature in my projects, I normally would just go ahead and create a PR for that on my own but unfortunately I am not very familiar with the code of docx js. I would really appreciate if the feature could be added within a future version of this project! If I can be of any help in terms of further investigation (e.g. if it does not work right away with the approach at hand) just let me know.
