Is it possible to make the label of nodes ahref clickable?

This is an old question, but this answer may be of help to anyone who finds it.

You cannot navigate from a label of a visjs node as a label because:

The label is the piece of text shown in or under the node, depending on the shape.

You can however enable navigation from a node itself by declaring an attribute with a URL value on the node and using the global method on() and network events (e.g. double click ).

 var nodes = new vis.DataSet([
           {id: '1', label: 'Google', shape: 'box', url: 'https://www.google.ie'}
        ]);
 var data = {nodes: nodes};
 var container = document.getElementById('vis');
 var options = {};
 var network = new vis.Network(container, data, options);

 network.on("doubleClick", function (params) {
   if (params.nodes.length === 1) {
     var node = nodes.get(params.nodes[0]);
     if(node.url != null) {
       window.open(node.url, '_blank');
     }
    }
 });

Your question title is not related to the text of your question as making the nodes "clickable" and making the nodes actually navigate to another page are different questions.
