Comment:

 Thanks @audrasjb for sharing that perspective. I agree that it is not
 necessary to unthinkingly follow every suggestion a third-party
 accessibility tool (bot) comes up with. I can see it both ways in this
 case. Middle gray text does not look particularly interactive to me, but
 realize that I had familiarity with the internet before the Google
 Material interface deemphasized the cues of interactivity. So while I
 personally realize that those items are links, I can imagine that there is
 a body of users out there who don't immediately realize that they are.

 Thanks @khushdoms for the offer, and feel free to submit the patch, but
 it's probably best to hold off until a decision has been made as to
 whether this is a worthwhile change to make.

 I'll add an image showing the standard version and a customized version
 for easy comparison.

 Thanks for your feedback!
