Click the circle after hovernig to direct to a url - css

Question

https://jsfiddle.net/qd2o38fp/1/
I want the user to be able to hover over the circle, and then click the circle itself to be directed to another link. (not the text when hovered)
.ch-item {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
border-radius: 50%;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
cursor: default;
box-shadow:
inset 0 0 0 16px rgba(255,255,255,0.6),
0 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out;
content: url(www.yahoo.com);
}
I tried to put
content: url(www.yahoo.com);
but this makes the text disappear for some reason.

Answer 1

If you want to be able to click it, it must be a link:
<a href="//www.yahoo.com" class="ch-info">
<h3>See Portfolio</h3>
</a>
Just display it as a block, and your current code will work:
.ch-info {
display: block;
}
.ch-grid {
margin: 20px 0 0 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
display: block;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
}
.ch-grid::after {
clear: both;
}
.ch-grid li {
width: 220px;
height: 220px;
display: inline-block;
margin: 20px;
}
.ch-item {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
border-radius: 50%;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
cursor: default;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 16px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.6), 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out;
}
.ch-img-1 {
background-image: url(http://www.pulsarwallpapers.com/data/media/3/Alien%20Ink%202560X1600%20Abstract%20Background.jpg);
}
.ch-img-2 {
background-image: url(../images/2.jpg);
}
.ch-img-3 {
background-image: url(../images/3.jpg);
}
.ch-info {
position: absolute;
background: rgba(63, 147, 147, 0.8);
width: inherit;
height: inherit;
border-radius: 50%;
overflow: hidden;
opacity: 0;
transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out;
transform: scale(0);
display: block;
}
.ch-info h3 {
color: #fff;
text-transform: uppercase;
letter-spacing: 2px;
font-size: 22px;
margin: 0 30px;
padding: 45px 0 0 0;
height: 140px;
font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;
text-shadow: 0 0 1px #fff, 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
}
.ch-info p {

font-style: italic;
margin: 0 30px;

font-weight: 700;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 9px;
letter-spacing: 1px;
padding-top: 4px;
font-family: 'Open Sans', Arial, sans-serif;
}
.ch-info p a:hover {
color: rgba(255, 242, 34, 0.8);
}
.ch-item:hover {
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 1px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1), 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}
.ch-item:hover .ch-info {
transform: scale(1);
opacity: 1;
}
.ch-item:hover .ch-info p {
opacity: 1;
}
.ch-item::before {
content: "P";
position: absolute;
font-size: 180px;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
<ul class="ch-grid">
<li>
<div class="ch-item ch-img-1">
<a href="//www.yahoo.com" class="ch-info">

</a>
</div>
</li>
</ul>

extending Oriol's you could also use clip-path: circle(110px at center);
to limit :hover selection
.ch-grid {
margin: 20px 0 0 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
display: block;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
}
.ch-grid::after {
clear: both;
}
.ch-grid li {
width: 220px;
height: 220px;
display: inline-block;
margin: 20px;
}
.ch-item {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
border-radius: 50%;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
cursor: default;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 16px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.6), 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
