 > What would be the best way to do this without changing the linked text?
 Would an WAI-ARIA attribute work well (something like `aria-label` or
 `aria-labelledby`)?

 We'd have to test that, but I don't think screen readers are likely to
 pull in the aria-label when listing links for user.

 What I had in mind would be to do:

 {{{
 <a href="...">Edit<span class="screen-reader-text"> status</span></a>
 }}}

 The experience would not change for sighted users but screen readers get
 the full links - both when it gets focus, and also when screen reader
 users use the List Links functionality.
