I understand this is a very old post, however it was the first search result for the problem. However I suggest an alternative. If you want to keep the format as is and still have all the other options intact. I suggest you add these two small sections into the existing code for multicolumn.liquid, this will just simply add the feature for an image link.
Insert on line 83
<a href="{{ block.settings.image_link }}">
and then the second bit add into the schema section.
,
{
"type": "url",
"id": "image_link",
"label": "Image link"
}
With these two small sections of code you can simply just add the feature in. Below is the standard code for sections/multicolumn.liquid with the added image link incorporated.
