This is related to the bug 159899

If a hyperlink does not have a Name attribute set, the Accessibility sidebar does not give a warning. Once the bug 159899 is fixed, it will make sense to warn about the missing human readable explanation text.

1. Open attached file
2. Open the Accessibility sidebar
-> No warning about the missing Name attribute

Which accessibility requirement would this fulfil? And what does the property map to in PDF and HTML?

I've heard that the hyperlink text should have the role of that "human readable explanation" role - and we already have the "Hyperlink text is the same as the link address" warning in the Accessibility sidebar for that reason.
It would be another story if the warning was only for e.g. hyperlinked graphical elements that don't have the Name field filled.

Just worried about the accessibility sidebar becoming too busy, driving users away from it.
