javascript – How to add a link inside an SVG circle

Question:

I drew a circle using svg . This circle has a :hover effect.
I would like to add a link inside a circle and have the link text change color on hover.

Below is my code:

svg#circle {
  height: 250px;
  width: 250px;
}

circle {
  stroke-dasharray: 700;
  stroke-dashoffset: 700;
  stroke-linecap: butt;
  -webkit-transition: all 2s ease-out;
  -moz-transition: all 2s ease-out;
  -ms-transition: all 2s ease-out;
  -o-transition: all 2s ease-out;
  transition: all 2s ease-out;
}

circle:hover {
  fill: pink;
  stroke-dashoffset: 0;
  stroke-dasharray: 700;
  stroke-width: 10;
}

<svg id="circle">
    <circle cx="125" cy="125" r="100" stroke="darkblue" stroke-width="3"     fill="green" />
 </svg>

Answer:

Response with dynamic link addition

I think this will work:

<svg id="circle">
  <a xlink:href="https://www.google.com" style="cursor: pointer" target="_blank">
    <circle  cx="125" cy="70" r="60" stroke="darkblue" stroke-width="3" fill="green" />
  </a>
</svg>

Adding reference to SVG Circle dynamically with JS

function addAnchor(){
  var dummyElement = document.createElement("div");
  dummyElement.innerHTML = '<a xlink:href="https://www.google.com" style="cursor: pointer" target="_blank"></a>';
  
  var htmlAnchorElement = dummyElement.querySelector("a");

  var circleSVG = document.getElementById("circle");

  htmlAnchorElement.innerHTML = circleSVG.innerHTML;

  circleSVG.innerHTML = dummyElement.innerHTML;
  
}

<svg id="circle">
    <circle  cx="125" cy="70" r="60" stroke="darkblue" stroke-width="3" fill="green" />
</svg>

<button onclick="addAnchor()">Add Anchor</button>
