Photoswipe без применения тега рисунка

Question

Я хочу использовать photoswipe в проекте, без применения тега <figure>.

Я сделал это в своем собственном коде, часть FIRST GALLERY:, но photoswipe не работает. В части SECOND GALLERY: применение тега <figure> и оно работает.

Как изменить код FIRST GALLERY:, чтобы сделать фотоснимок прямо без тега <figure> (с тегом <a>)?
