Those might work for websites, but to the best of my knowledge, we can't do
Aria in PDFs, PowerPoints, and Word documents. And controlling link
appearance in PDFs is a time consuming nightmare.

Keep in mind that WCAG is being applied to all electronic content, which
includes office and PDF documents, not just websites.

"Don't make the URL a link."
Won't that confuse sighted users?
