I tried to reproduce this issue, but was also unable to use the Masonry block on a new WP.com test site. On the reporter's site, I think the Masonry block is added by the CoBlocks plugin. We should forward this request to GoDaddy support, or recommend using an alternative block that supports linking to the individual images.

Closing this as it's not a Calypso issue.

@maciejpilarski for what it's worth, I'd bet it's only happening on Simple sites since the CoBlocks plugin has updates that may fix this.

I'd recommend transforming to a gallery block then making edits and transforming back.
