[Web][A11y] Fix link onClick behavior on links

[johnsonmh]

Right now, when semantics are enabled in flutter web, anchor tags are created around anything that is Semantics(link: true). These anchor tags have an href="#". Right now, when these anchor tags are clicked, they actually navigate the page to /#, and then the underlying flutter onTap is also triggered. We don't want the anchor tag to actually trigger a redirect, since the onTap is handled by the framework. We can avoid this by calling preventDefault() on the anchor tag's click events.

Internal bug: b/321779318

Sorry for the late reply here, I didn't know about this PR.

I've been working on fixing multiple issues in links (Link PR and engine PR). Both PRs are still WIP. The issue you are addressing here should also be fixed by the PRs once they are complete.
