Comment (by grahamarmfield):

 '''Facebook''' - Initially no obvious 'click...' type comments available
 to Dragon to open up panel to show log off link. Only way to do it is to
 use move mouse commands to navigate to arrow and then "Mouse click" and
 then mouse commands again to move down and then "Mouse click" when over
 Log out link.

 But... after experience with Twitter found that there is a voice command
 that works to open the fly-out panel - "Click settings". Unfotunately
 though it's still not possible to follow up with a "Click Log out", and
 you are forced to mouse command down to the link, before a "Mouse click"
 when you've arrived.

 '''Twitter''' - Initially could find no obvious click commands to get the
 fly-out panel to open. But the I realised that the icon used is like the
 Google Chrome settings icon so I tried "Click settings" and it worked, the
 panel flies out. A following "Click Sign out" does the trick straight
 away.

 Discovered that the same two commands actually work in Facebook too.

 '''Google''' - Can't find a single "Click ..." command to open the panel
 where the sign out link is. So it's definitely down to the move mouse
 commands to get the pointer over what is actually a very tiny target and
 then a "Mouse click" command top open the panel. Once the panel is open
 the "Click sign out" does work.

 '''WordPress''' - In WordPress, it is necessary to hover over the Howdy,
 username text to open the panel - clicking it won't do as I'm taken
 straight to my profile page. So in Dragon, any of the "Click ..." commands
 aren't going to work. You have to use the move mouse commands to get the
 pointer to hover in the right place. Then, once the panel is open you can
 say "Click log out" to action the link.

 The summary is that Dragon will only allow you to access directly links
 that are visible, and have some text associated with them. The exception
 here is in something like the Theme Customizer where the links beneath the
 panel are still actionable, but that's another issue.

 In Dragon using the "Click ..." and "Tab" commands are as quick as
 clicking with a mouse. Controlling the mouse pointer in Dragon is a pig
 and much slower - even using the mouse grid functionality, it's slower.
