Comment (by alexstine):

 @joedolson I think so because the information is still in the caption. It
 sets expectations for users what will happen when selecting the link.
 Besides, I would bet that screen reader users who are less advanced might
 take the word "click" out of context so either way, its not a perfect
 solution. Generally, I like to use "select" or "activate" in place of
 "click". I wish we could get another opinion on this though... Either way,
 I think the caption approach is better over using aria-describedby due to
 the way Voiceover on Mac handles defined ARIA descriptions.
