How can I make an address field open up Google maps when clicked?
Also, is there a way to add a link for directions on a map?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Do you want to add a marker popup so when user click on the marker added on the map it should open up popup with the details you want to display? or you want to add a lightbox popup and open map in lightbox popup when user click on the address displayed as link?

The second option, although I don't necessarily need a lightbox. I'm thinking about a user tapping the address while on a smartphone and then seeing directions for getting to the address listed.

There is no such feature to show direction but what if you try to use the workaround shared with the following related ticket that might help you:
