This worked in the end:

document.addEventListener("click", function(event) {
    // Check which element was clicked using event.target
    if (event.target.matches("#about")) {
        window.location.href = "about_me.html";
    } else if (event.target.matches("#contact")) {
        window.location.href = "contact_me.html";
    } else if (event.target.matches("#home")) {
        window.location.href = "home.html"
    }
});
