Summary
In cases where a button is used because it is stylistically desired, but the
onPress
event opens a link, we should be able to set theaccessibilityRole
of the button aslink
for screen readers. Otherwise, it should remainbutton
by default.The inclusion of an icon or styling can indicate link behavior to a sighted user, but is not detectable by a screen reader.
Test plan
accessibilityRole='link'
as a prop to a button, and navigate to the button via screen reader. It should announce as a link.accessibilityRole
prop, and navigate to the button via screen reader; it should announce as a button.I have tested this locally, and it works as expected.
