Links and Hypertext (WebAIM)
Making hypertext links accessible is one of the most basic and most important aspects of Web accessibility. For the most part, this is an easy task. Standard hypertext links work with all technologies and platforms and users of all abilities can access them, whether directly or through the use of some sort of assistive technology.
As might be expected though, there is more to hypertext link accessibility than simply creating a link. Some types of links are more accessible than others, and some types of links are completely inaccessible to people with certain types of disabilities. Because links are so basic to the functionality of Web content, inaccessible links are one of the most severe barriers to overall accessibility.
