Comment (by sabernhardt):

 == Testing information

 Before following the steps below, I think you might need to install and
 activate the Classic Widgets plugin now.

 1. Upload the [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/link-manager.zip
 Link Manager plugin zip file] (plugin search does not include it on the
 first page).
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Create a collection of links that have varied combinations of elements.
 In addition to the name and web address, these could include a
 description, image and/or rating.
 4. Go to the Widgets screen and create a collection of Links widgets with
 different settings checkboxes checked, whether you want to show the name,
 description, image or rating.
 5. Visit the site using a screen reader and pay attention to how the
 content for each bookmark is read. Record it if possible (NVDA has a
 Speech viewer under Tools).
 6. Apply the patch.
 7. Visit the site again, using a screen reader, and pay attention to how
 each link's content is read.
