Accessibility labels should not contain the type of the control, that's a job for the accessibility trait instead. If you have a button with a label like "Close button" and the ".button" trait, VoiceOver will say: "Close button, button".

The link accessibility trait is applied to UI elements that open some web content. It usually appears in-line in the content and represented by underlined text, but not always. VoiceOver will say "link" after the accessibility label.
One thing I find very useful when testing (or doing demos!) is to have VoiceOver's caption panel enabled. It shows constantly at the bottom of the screen and you can see exactly what VoiceOver is saying.
With accessibilityRepresentation(representation:), you can create a custom component and it can be perceived by assistive technologies as the view you pass as representation. No need to manually configure accessibility attributes. It is one of the most interesting additions to SwiftUI to help you develop accessible UI components. If your custom component behaves similarly to a native one, this is the way to go. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/accessibilityrepresentation(representation:)
