Here is my solution:

   
   

      
      

         SomeText
      
   

(LESS)

td {
  padding: 1%;
  vertical-align: bottom;
  position:relative;

     a {
        height: 100%;
        display: block;
        position: absolute;
        top:0;
        bottom:0;
        right:0;
        left:0;
       }

     .item-container {
         /*...*/
     }
}

Like this you can still benefit from some table cell properties like vertical-align.(Tested on Chrome)
