Re: Alternative to @aria-describedAT: <a role=img>

<a role="img" href="">img link</a> or even <a href=""><img></a> are
exposed with "jump" as primary accessible action. Longdesc or
aria-describedat is exposed as secondary accessible action which is as
I understand sort of URL to image description and not a link.

Thanks.
Alex.
