This is not specific to Orca. I can reproduce it on Windows as well.

The problem is that this "link" does not have an href, so it is not made keyboard focusable, nor does it get exposed as a link to accessibility clients (such as screen readers). Two possible solutions:

1. Use href="#" or similar.
2. Use role="link" tabindex="0".

Normally, I'd say this is access-s2 because it makes a feature inaccessible to some users. However, this will (hopefully) rarely be seen by most users and users probably won't want to ignore the risk, so I'm downgrading to access-s3.
