Re: Which ARIA Roles do you use to mark-up clickable regions within a content view?

You need to explain a little more what happens when you click or what is 
the behavior when you click to us, more than they generate events or 
trigger actions - most all UI widget do that.   For example, if clicking 
on the paragraph generate an event that updates the contents in another 
panel - such as a table on contents link take you to the corresponding 
page, then it seems to me to behave like a simple link - so code it as a 
link.

If you have invented a new UI widget, then that would require extending 
the ARIA roles in my opinion. If you were doing this "thing" in a Windows 
desktop app, what would it be?
