Hyperlinked images in a List

[Dan_Garcia]

Hi there -- I'm looking to create a simple list with a few columns of data, plus a column with a URL and a column with an image. 

Using a tile-view in a list, I'd like to make the image the background, but allow it to be hyperlinked. But I'm not sure if I'm calling the JSON correctly.

My image column name is $Background; the column with URLs is $HyperLink

Thanks!

@Dan_Garcia Use JSON in view formatting like: 

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/tile-formatting.schema.json",

Thanks for this. It looks like the everything needs to be a child of the 'a' element. Appreciate the help!
