 > The Trac icon option might work '''if''' the icon had alt text. But it
 still relies on sighted users understanding what that icon means. and
 spawning any new window without warning is a massive problem for switch
 users who may end up effectively stranded in the new window.

 Absolutely, both alt text and a title would be needed. Also, I meant not
 opening in a new window but instead showing an icon, just to clarify. It
 would help that we have other links there, so the difference would help to
 distinguish it.
