I had a situation like this recently when I needed clickable areas within <g> elements of an svg map. Since the <button> element isn’t allowed inside the <g> element, but an anchor (<a>) is, I used <a role=“button”>. And gave it an aria-label, too. I’m no expert at working with SVGs by any stretch, but this seems to work fine and doesn’t cause any issues that I’m aware of.
