What is the purpose of the .stretched-link::after CSS style?

[Tom Hughes]

It's not actually our code, it's part of bootstrap that we
are using and yes the entire purpose is to make the element
clickable so in a sense it is a sort of clickjacking, just
one that is a deliberate design choice.

You can see more about how it works in the bootstrap doco:
