That is: ARIA does not allow this to be surfaced as a both a landmark and a link: elements can only have one role. You could do something like: <p role="transcript"><a id="transcript" href="transcript.html">Transcript</a></p> In earlier ARIA drafts it was possible to have a landmark role *and* another role: this is no longer the case.
