Created attachment 478270 [details] Screen recording of Voiceover interaction with internal SVG links. Mac VoiceOver, in Safari, doesn't interact with Léonie Watson's model SVG flowchart (https://demos.tink.uk/svg-flowchart/) very well. In particular, following the edge links, using either enter or ctrl-opt-space, updates the URL but doesn't cause VoiceOver to read the target node. Léonie reports in https://w3c.social/@tink/115991959376136652 that the behavior is usable in Windows+Firefox+Jaws.
