I set the standard at my agency to follow WCAG 2.0 Level AA plus two AAA's. One of them is SC 2.4.9 Link Purpose (Link Only) (AAA). I usually require the link text alone to be sufficient to identify the link. Finding it's context is sometimes problematic for the blind and those with limited vision. So is the aria workaround, as it only helps the blind with screen readers.
