Hello Kenny,
You can see an example in setting > general > Siri
also another example is the Messages app: if you get a text (or iMessage) containing links in their text (e.g. phone numbers and URIs (webpage and email addresses) automatically recognized by the Messages app), you can then work with the links too in the fashion you described below: Very interesting. I wasn't aware of the rotor control. Are there guidelines for how best to allow VoiceOver users to interact with "inline" links? Is the expected experience once where the label itself is the initial VoiceOver element and, when read back, links are read as "link". If the user wants to access the link, then they have to use the rotor and switch to "Links" mode?
yes, that’s the way one would use such an element with links inside. You get the whole label read as a single element as usual, learning about links (by the virtue of them being announced as “link”), which you would then, if needed, access explicitly “on-demand” using the “Links” rotor (usually for the purposes of activation).
Best regards, Boris
