Comment:

 In [changeset:"40643"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="40643"
 Accessibility: Add "(opens in a new window)" screen reader text to the
 "News-Nearby Events" dashboard widget footer links.

 - standardizes similar messages in core to always use `(opens in a new
 window)`
 - adds translators comments
 - hides the dashicons with `aria-hidden="true"`, see #40428

 Fixes #40733.
