Problem
When TalkBack focuses on an OpenUrl action element, it announces both "Link" and "Button" roles, creating a confusing experience for screen reader users.
Solution
Set roleDescription="Link" and clear the Button className on OpenUrl action elements so TalkBack only announces the "Link" role.
