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.
Some of you have asked me how you can support what I do. This would really help, and would be hugely appreciated:
Find these posts useful? Share them at work, on social media, or with anyone that might find them interesting. Let's spread the word!
Check out any of my apps or games: Xarra!, RetroRapid!, or Mestre!.
A download and a review go a long way. They're free by default. On the App Store, ratings and reviews really help more people discover them.
Finding any of them useful? If so, and if you can afford it, purchasing lifetime access to all features or subscribing lets me buy the coffee that keeps me caffeinated. Caffeine keeps me going to maintain the apps, bring in new features that I hope you'll love, and keep writing.

If you are developing a custom component, that can change value, chances are that it will need the adjustable accessibility trait (VoiceOver will say: "Adjustable"). Think of a component that lets you rate from one to five thumbs up (or stars).
UIAccessibility is the cornerstone of any accessible UIKit app. Among others, understanding what an accessibility label, value, trait or hint are, is key. This is an example of how they could be configured for a custom rating component. #GAAD2022
Guidelines from Apple: Begin with a verb that explains the results of the action. Avoid using the imperative form of a verb because that can make it sound like a command. Don’t include the action type. Don’t include the control. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/objectivec/nsobject-swift.class/accessibilityhint
