You can actualy go all CS content on this, use a visually hidden
content attribute with the word "Transcript" or "video transcript" and
use a CSS selector to add it to every link with a certain class name,
like class="video"
Then the text of the link can be the name of the video.
I don't understand why a preceeding heading Is not considered
sufficient programmatic context by WCAG, while a paragraph or sentence
is.
