Create Image From HTML

Hi, I am trying to create a Content Management System where users can click on various parts of a page and the content is displayed in a JavaScript text editor. For each tag I intend to wrap a link (<a href>) around it. This works fine for <p> tags but I cant put a link around a <table> tag because it isnt allowed in HTML. My idea to get around this is make an image from everything between the table tags with php so I can make it link to another page, is this possible? Thanks for your advice
