This question already has an answer here:

Is it possible to add a hyperlink to an object or a layer within Illustrator CS6 for a later SVG export?

I know about the possibility to manually edit the exported file and wrap elements with an <a> tag. But this complicates subsequent changes. It would be better to have solution that is integrated in Illustrator.

It's possible.

  • Select your object
  • Call "Attributes panel" Cmd/Ctrl + F11
  • In dropdown "Image input" select "Polygon"
  • Paste your link in input "URL"
  • Export svg
  • Check in browser
  • Profit
