Ah yes, oddly enough I've been pondering something along the same lines. You're right that based on the definition of "label" https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#dfn-labels actual link text could well be seen as the label of a link. And with that, links would be subject to 2.4.6 Headings and Labels, with the labels needing to "describe topic or purpose" (though of course that's a bit handwavy/subjective in itself). And then, that would make 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) and 2.4.9 Link Purpose (Link Only) redundant (or worse, 2.4.4, which allows context to play a role, would contradict 2.4.6). It's ... certainly tricky and one of those weird overlaps. P -- Patrick H.
