Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 In [changeset:"46771" 46771]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="46771"
 Accessibility: Administration: Underline links on Dashboard that are
 located within a line of text and thus need to be underlined:

 * "change your theme completely"
 * Active theme in the "At a Glance" box
 * "View all drafts" in the Quick Draft box

 Split "Manage widgets or menus" into separate items for consistency with
 other links.

 For better accessibility, links that are a part of other text should be
 underlined and not rely on color alone to be distinguished.

 Per accessibility coding standards:
 > When links can be identified as such by the context, for example because
 they’re part of a menu, or a set of links clearly identified as user
 interface controls, they don’t necessarily need to be underlined. In all
 the other cases, especially for links surrounded by other text (in a line
 or block of text), links need to be always underlined.

 Props afercia, audrasjb, karmatosed.
 Merges [46770] to the 5.3 branch.
 Fixes #48406.
