is this still an issue?
[New] - 3/18/2018[Issue]"Link" opens a non-modal dialog and it has a title but it does not include any indication about this non-modal dialog.[User Impact]Screen reader users do not know that this "Link" will open a non-modal dialog. They assume that it opens a new page since it announces as a link.[Code]
[Expected behavior]Developers must ensure that they provide information about non-modal dialog open. Additionally, developers need to provide a meaningful name to this "Link" element since on many pages there are multiple "Link" available and users get confused.Developers can use aria-label to provide enough information about "Link".
