Exactly. The semantic is the type of link. Are you suggesting
something like:
- role="link" for normal links,
- role="deflink" for definition links,
- role="bibliolink"for links into the bibliography,
- and so on?
That's similar to dpub's suggestions (from
http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/aria/dpub.html#role_definitions):
doc-biblioref: A reference to a bibliography entry.
doc-glossref: A reference to a glossary definition
doc-location: A link that allows the user to jump to a related location
in the content (e.g., from a footnote to its reference, from an index
entry to where the topic is discussed, or from a glossary definition to
where the term is used).
doc-noteref: A reference to a footnote, typically appearing as a
superscripted number or symbol in the main body of text.
To summarize, the possibilities are:
- add more role values that specify the type of link, or
- use @aria-destination in conjunction with role="link" to qualify the
type of link, or
- use @rel to so qualify.
