在CSS3悬停'之后'伪元素中使链接可点击

我已经根据本教程设置了一些图像悬停样式,它使用before和after伪元素创建悬停样式.

工作(和外观)很棒,但我需要能够在悬停内容中插入按钮/链接,但由于这是在伪元素上设置的样式,因此after阻止了按钮/链接的可点击性.

它看起来像下面,我已经设置了一个jsfiddle来演示我想要做什么 - 正如你会注意到的,链接在悬停时无法点击,我想知道是否有人可以提出一个简单的制作方法此链接可单击,而无需完全更改其结构的方式.

.media {
  display: inline-block;
  position: relative;
  vertical-align: top;
}

.media__image { display: block; }

.media__body {
  background: rgba(41, 128, 185, 0.7);
  bottom: 0;
  color: white;
  font-size: 1em;
  left: 0;
  opacity: 0;
  overflow: hidden;
  padding: 3.75em 3em;
  position: absolute;
  text-align: center;
  top: 0;
  right: 0;
  -webkit-transition: 0.6s;
  transition: 0.6s;
}

.media__body:hover { opacity: 1; }

.media__body:after,
.media__body:before {
  border: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
  bottom: 1em;
  content: '';
  left: 1em;
  opacity: 0;
  position: absolute;
  right: 1em;
  top: 1em;
  -webkit-transform: scale(1.5);
  -ms-transform: scale(1.5);
  transform: scale(1.5);
  -webkit-transition: 0.6s 0.2s;
  transition: 0.6s 0.2s;
}

.media__body:before {
  border-bottom: none;
  border-top: none;
  left: 2em;
  right: 2em;
}

.media__body:after {
  border-left: none;
  border-right: none;
  bottom: 2em;
  top: 2em;
}

.media__body:hover:after,
.media__body:hover:before {
  -webkit-transform: scale(1);
  -ms-transform: scale(1);
  transform: scale(1);
  opacity: 1;
}

.media__body h2 { margin-top: 0; }

.media__body p { margin-bottom: 1.5em; }
