Angela,

You could use ARIA and add the required roles and attributes to the div elements. You could use and modify the accordion widget guidelines from the WAI-ARIA Authoring practices 1.0:

This would eliminate the need for the blank link. However, ARIA is not completely supported by all browsers and assistive technology.
