Description

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Access the sample site at https://khsruru.com/title_test.html
  2. Use the latest version of NVDA (2024.1 or the latest alpha version)
  3. Enter the site and use the up or down arrow keys to read the content, which includes several book volumes followed by "View Details" links
  4. Try to access the links using the Tab key or the up and down arrow keys

Actual behavior:

None of the "View Details" links are accessible using NVDA's browse mode or by pressing the Tab key. The links are read as "blank" when navigating with the Tab key.

Expected behavior:

The "View Details" links should be accessible and readable using NVDA's browse mode and the Tab key, similar to how they are accessible with other screen readers like VoiceOver on iOS and TalkBack on Android.
