It can be used, but the question is whether it makes sense to label 
something that has no role?

My preference would be to describe the link or button in the actual link 
or button text and use aria-label only in very rare cases where there is 
no HTML alternative

The question is not "does it work in a screenreader" but "does the text 
of an aria-label on a span-element end up in the accessibility tree"?
