Re: (WCAG 2.1) Do we want to replace ​"programmatically determined link context" in 2.4.4 with "Accessible Name"?

The aria-describedby does not factor into accessible name calculation, only
the accessible description calculation.  So it won't appear in a links list.

The Title will if there is no other Accessible Name.
