*Ensure links that spawn dialogs indicate the fact*



"When a link (text link or image link) is used as the element that opens a
dialog, its link text must indicate this special action to Assistive
Technology users. Otherwise users would assume the link performs the
standard link action of navigating to another page and might be confused
when that standard action does not occur."



*"Note: When a button is used instead of a link to trigger a dialog, it is
not necessary to indicate the dialog action textually*. This includes
standard HTML button control types as well as the ARIA role of button."
*With best regards,*
