@bertiewooster what do you think of this solution? |

Thanks @chrisjsewell! Yes, from what I can tell, that seems to solve the problem. I checked by comparing the Sphinx design Cards page canonical version to the version built from this pull request. It would be best if someone who uses a screenreader could verify that this solution works for their reader. BeforeLighthouse report includes AfterLighthouse report does not contain that problem |

This PR adds the
link-altoption tocard(andgrid-item-card) directives,in order to assign a discernable name to the link (for screen readers).
As noted in #78, it may be ideal to add
aria-label/aria-hiddento the actual linkHTML element. However, this would entail having to override aspects of the sphinx HTML builder. Instead, we include the link alt text, but add asd-hide-link-textCSS class, to setfont-size: 0`, to hide the text.This solution was taken from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/471510/hide-text-using-css, and seemed to be the simplest solution.
