Comment:

 Good catch, @dilipbheda!

 I'm thinking that we should also semantically change this to a button. To
 keep things simple, we might want to just add `role="button"` and add the
 extra key handler to the events to support spacebar triggering.

 That would also continue to allow users to open in a new tab if they are
 accustomed to doing that, though I wonder how often that actually
 happens...
