Comment (by khushdoms):
Thanks for the feedback!
You make a good point about these links being identifiable through their
context and placement. I agree that they behave more like navigation
elements rather than inline text links.
My initial thought was based on accessibility scanning tools, which
flagged the lack of underline as a potential issue. However, considering
real user experience, the links may still be sufficiently distinguishable.
Perhaps a middle-ground approach could be to improve visibility on
hover/focus states instead of enforcing underline by default.
Happy to explore this further or prepare a patch based on the preferred
direction.
