Masonry Content Element opens video in lightbox but photos in new page

I wanted my masonry portfolio to open both videos and photos in a lightbox.
The videos opened in a lightbox like I wanted but the photos kept opening in a new page. I just couldn’t get it to work.
After searching a lot I found the solution in these forums. I did what Elliot suggested (change the code in the masonry_entries.php file) and that worked.
But as my knowledge of php is almost zero, I hesitated to tinker with the php. I chose WordPress and the Enfold theme to not have to wrestle with php code.
Couldn’t you just add an extra option in the Masonry settings to open images in a lightbox? Just like you choose if you want the ‘load more…” button? That would be so much easier!

Thanks!
