Role "Button" not announced by TalkBack for Spans with GestureRecognizer

[ChristopherStephan]

Description

When using a formatted label with a hyperlink, Android's screen reader TalkBack does not announce the role "Button" for the hyperlink.

<Label>
    <Label.FormattedText>
        <FormattedString>
            <Span Text="Alternatively, click " />
            <Span Text="here"
                  TextColor="Blue"
                  TextDecorations="Underline">
                <Span.GestureRecognizers>
                    <TapGestureRecognizer Command="{Binding TapCommand}"
                                          CommandParameter="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/maui/" />
                </Span.GestureRecognizers>
            </Span>
            <Span Text=" to view .NET MAUI documentation." />
        </FormattedString>
    </Label.FormattedText>
</Label>

Actual outcome: "Alternatively, click here to view .NET MAUI documentation" Expected outcome: "Alternatively, click here to view .NET MAUI documentation., Button"

On iOS with VoiceOver the button role is announced as expected.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a Label with a Span that has a Gesture Recognizer
2. Start Android's screen reader TalkBack

Actual outcome: The screen reader does not announce the role "Button" of the Span that has a Gesture Recognizer Expected outcome: The role "Button" is announced
