You generally wouldn't want to do this unless the anchor becomes visible
when focused -- if this wasn't the case then you'd have a violation of
Focus Visible SC 2.4.7. Any time you are considering using off-screen
text consider how users with other disabilities such as low vision,
cognitive disabilities, or keyboard-only users might be affected or could
benefit from the screen reader specific technique you are about to apply.
