Voice Control won't interact with anchors that have the role="menuitem" attribute, including when saying commands to click on the link directly or saying the "Show Numbers" command. Specifically with the "Show Numbers" command, anchors with role="menuitem" won't receive a number. Steps to reproduce: - Go to the Editor Menubar Example on w3.org:
https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/examples/menubar/menubar-2/menubar-2.html
- Turn on Voice Control in macOS Accessibility settings - Say "Show Numbers" and note that the links in that menubar example do not receive numbers. - Say "Click Fonts" and note that the "Fonts" link is not clicked. You can also reproduce this with a short code example, if you wanted to save an HTML snippet, open it in Safari, and then experiment with it in Developer Tools: ``` <a href="
https://bugs.webkit.org/
" role="menuitem">example link</a> ``` If you remove the role attribute in the snippet above, the anchor will be recognized by Voice Control as a link that can be clicked. And if you add the role="menuitem" attribute back, you will notice that Voice Control won't recognize the link again.
