Comment:

 Testing instructions:

 1) Install the classic editor plugin.
 2) Navigate to the 'Set Featured Image' metabox.
 3) Select the control using the keyboard. (Tab key)

 Before patch:
 - The link will only trigger on Enter, not on space.
 - Screen readers report the control as a link, with no additional
 information.

 After patch:
 - The link will trigger on either Enter or using the spacebar.
 - If using the spacebar, you can depress the spacebar, hit tab, and
 release the spacebar and the control will not be triggered.
 - The link will be reported to screen readers as a button that has a popup
 of type "dialog".
