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

If the links list doesn't take into account the accessible description then it seems like a bug.   I don't think we should force all of the contextual text into the 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.

Plus another one for Greg's comment.
One can also use title or aria-describedby  to qualify what  the
linked text "Read more"  relates to ... that is not an accessible
name.

Just on this one point, note that title, aria-describedby etc all form part of what's taken into consideration for the accessible name calculation of an HTML element - see https://www.w3.org/TR/html-aapi/#accessible-name-and-description-calculation
