Revolution slider question

for

I have a group using a revolving slider, and they love it. The slide itself is a DIV with a title; it includes an image with an ALT, and link. There's no text for the href so the screen readers read the URL when they get to the slide. There is no way to give the URL text or a title attribute within the CMS. Accessibility tools are reporting "Empty link". If the URL itself is descriptive, is that sufficient for compliance? Is there another option besides removing the slider, which my people really are fighting against?

Thanks.
