Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A European law has been passed that forces public websites to adhere to a AA accessibility rating.
Using adaptive cards prevents this.
All actions are rendered the same, as buttons.
For blind or poor sighted people who browse the web (using screen readers) this is incredibly confusing.

Describe the solution you'd like
By default, the Action.OpenUrl is rendered as an <a>-tag.
Users who rely on sight don't notice a difference.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Some rendering middleware, but could not find one that exists.

@felixvanleeuwen since version 2.3 of the JS SDK, all OpenUrl actions are rendered with the "aria-role": "link" attribute, which should be enough to satisfy the regulation. Rendering them as an <a> tag is only necessary if the proper aria-role is missing, which isn't the case.

Scrap what I wrote above. While that was true, another accessibility change has been applied on top of it that changes buttons' role to "menuitem".

We're going to have to look into this and determine what the right solution is.
