Solution

  • Here's what I added/changed to achieve the desired effect (pure CSS alterations):

    1. Moved the hover to .gallery .gallery-image and made it display: inline-block. This is so that overlay can still change, but its visual state is not tied to an event. Making it inline-block limits the hover area to the width of the content.

    2. Added pointer-events: none to .overlay, so that mouse clicks will pass through it.

    .gallery {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(300px, auto));
  gap: 2rem;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: space-evenly;
  max-width: 1920px;
  margin: 4rem auto 0 auto;
}

.gallery-image {
  position: relative;
  width: 300px;
  box-shadow: rgb(139, 9, 9) 0px 5px 10px;
}

.image-img {
  width: 100%;
  display: block;
}

.overlay {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);
  color: var(--tect-onblack);
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  opacity: 0;
  transition: all .4s ease;
  pointer-events: none;
}

.image-title i {
  font-size: 70px;
}

.gallery-image:hover .overlay {
  opacity: 1;
  transition: all .4s ease;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.overlay>* {
  transform: translateY(30px);
  transition: all .4s ease;
}

.overlay:hover>* {
  transform: translateY(0);
}
    <div class="gallery">
  <div class="gallery-image">
    <a href="./images/111.jpg" data-lightbox="shkaf" data-title="gal1">
      <img class="image-img" src="./images/111.jpg"></a>
    <div class="overlay">
