Description

Description of the issue.

Currently, the docs side menu renders navigation elements as <button> elements, rather than <links>. This breaks user expectations regarding behavior (i.e., navigating to new content) and ability to right-click and, e.g., open in a new tab or window.

Preferably, the markup would be refactored to use anchor <a> tags, rather than <button> tags.
