Comment:

 In [changeset:"58161" 58161]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="58161"
 Plugins: Assign role of button to links that act as buttons.

 Clicking on these links initiates an action, so they are more semantically
 a button rather than a link. Keeping them as an anchor in html allows any
 existing JS that is targeted to these items to continue to function. The
 addition of the role helps assistive technology to know that they should
 treat this as a button.

 Props stevejonesdev, sabernhardt, vipulgupta003, rcreators, joedolson.
 Fixes #61011.
