I am trying to make a video clickable and act as a hyperlink

If I include controls as in this example

CODE

<a href="https://www.example.com/destination-page.html">
  <video src="path/to/video.mp4" width="640" height="360" controls></video>
</a>

the video can play but clicking on the video only pauses playback
if I remove controls, clicking on the video will open the link URL

is there a way to make the link work while including controls?

You might be able to place a transparent link in front of the video with CSS "position: absolute" or similar (but don't cover the video controls).

But it will likely be confusing to users if clicking on the video opens a new URL instead of the usual video interaction.
