Link widget requires roles, ARIA properties, and keyboard support (Accessibility) #157210

Use case

The Link widget requires roles, ARIA properties, and expected keyboard support to meet accessibility compliance requirements outlined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

Proposal

WAI-ARIA Roles, States, and Properties

The element containing the link text or graphic is marked up as <a> or has role="link"
If the link requires an additional programmatic label to give context to assistive technology users, use aria-label or aria-labelledby="[IDREF]", with [IDREF] referencing the unique ID of the element that describes the purpose of the tab group

I thought this is already supported? cc @yjbanov

The ARIA attributes go into the semantics tree, not the widget itself. However, let's double-check, in case we're missing something.
