extdescription-020 Technique for linking to a single extended description placed in a separate HTML file via text hyperlinks Check if activating the hyperlink placed under the image takes you to a separate HTML file with extended descriptions, and the back link there brings you back to the image. Pass Unlike the test in non-visual book, the back link here brings the NVDA focus to the correct location. Probably this is because the destination text is a paragraph of its own and not inline or because it is at the end of the document.
