Links on Mobile Devices and Accessibility

Hello,

As per WCAG 2.0, links need to be differentiated in atleast two ways - color, underline, hover, etc. For links on mobile devices, differentiating links with color requirement of 3:1 is feasible. Underlining links is opposed by the brand and usability teams.

In addition, there is not a typical method for either hovering or setting keyboard focus (unless using a screen reader) and WCAG doesn't really describe how to handle this.

By ensuring adequate contrast between the link text and non-link text is sufficient in this case?

I understand that WCAG doesn't really has an exception for it - would like to hear thoughts on how hyperlinks on mobile devices be made accessible as per WCAG 2.0?

Regards
Pooja
