Aria roles

Hi all

I was wondering if there was anything that specified whether aria roles should be applied to specific elements. For example, I have often seen websites implement a lot of their functionality using links, and then give the links new aria roles such as ‘button’ or ‘radio’ to indicate their purpose rather than using the proper element in the first instance. Is this likely to cause any issues?

Thanks
