I did this for a site and it worked just fine...until content editors made
an update. Their approach was to delete the entire paragraph of text and
hyperlink and then copy/paste into the editor the new content. As they were
not familiar with aria attributes or dealing with code, the whole thing
fell apart quickly.

So, it works fine as long as the content does not require regular editing
or updates by others.

Take care,
