Problem Description

Test Environment: URL: https://adaptivecards.io/ OS Version: 22H2 (OS Build 25390.1000) Browser: Edge Dev (111.0.1661.27) Tool: Accessibility Insight for Web

Repro steps:

1. Open the above URL in the edge dev browser.
2. Navigate to the 'Text Block' under 'Cards Elements' and press enter key to activate it.
3. Now, Navigate to the options present under 'text' under properties and run the tool and observe the issue.

Actual Result: Links are not distinguished from surrounding text in a way that does not rely on color.

Expected Result: Ensure links should distinguished from surrounding text in a way that does not rely on color.

Element path: .p > a[href$="ACTextFeatures"][target="_blank"][rel="noopener"]

How to fix: Fix any of the following: The link has insufficient color contrast of 2.97:1 with the surrounding text. (Minimum contrast is 3:1, link text: #0050c7, surrounding text: #000000) The link has no styling (such as underline) to distinguish it from the surrounding text

User Impact: Users with colorblindness and low vision have difficulty in identifying the links present on the page. Users can't be able to differentiate between the normal text and links if links do not have underline/chevron symbols.
