I don't think screen reader users are a problem. I would probably design the feature so they always hear all the links and are not even aware of the expand / collapse status.

I would be more concerned about how someone using voice recognition software would interact with it, although that's probably an issue for the future because there currently seems to be just about zero support for web browsing using voice control on mobile devices, either natively or via an app. If anyone knows any differently, I would be very interested to hear what is available. I have never encountered voice recognition software that reveals the accessible name to the user, so it would not be possible to interact with the "dot dot dot" link unless the accessible name is obvious.
