This one raises an interesting point regarding how few actually have their own Link component and probably just use an anchor tag. I am approving the research but think this one should be raised to know whether this should be simply a definition proposal and not necessarily a full proposal due to its limited utilization across component libraries.

Is it just me or are these images super tiny?

@una based on the resolution in #257 should this PR be closed without merge?

I don't know if this changes anything, but I at least found it interesting that two of the libraries provide a disabled link state, when that doesn't exist in HTML (or ARIA).

Yes, +1 to this. Link text should just appear as inline text as anchors without an href are treated as text.

I'll add that there are visual implications with having this concept as well. While a disabled button does not need to meet contrast, a link which appears disabled is just text which must meet (currently) WCAG 2.1 AA contrast requirements.

@gregwhitworth, this looks like one that can now be closed without any additional effort being required from anyone.
