In the Django admin, some fields have text with an anchor link, and this
text appears without an indication that it is a link.
The text should appear with an indication (an underline), to meet
accessibility guidelines.

Thanks for the ticket, however, this was discussed as a part of #34038,
and at the end removed from the recommendation.

Comment:
@Marius I do not know what discussion you’re referring to in #34038 but
the resolution isn’t appropriate. Links need to be clearly identifiable.
There needs to be a way to tell the links apart from surrounding text
without relying on color. The current styles implemented in the admin are
so bad I’d qualify this as a release blocker if the changes were made in
the last release.
As a practical example, it is more or less impossible to identify where
links are in help text:
[[Image(https://code.djangoproject.com/raw-
attachment/ticket/34917/django%205.1dev20231027%20link%20styles.png)]]
As far as this issue about _links within text_, I would recommend:
- A minimum contrast ratio of ideally 4.5:1, at the vey least 3:1 between
link text color and text color. Currently we’re somewhere around 1.6:1 to
2.2:1 in the light theme, which is unacceptable.
- **And** an underline, for people who have severe color blindness.
For links outside text there are more options, but I also think the
current design choices aren’t fit for purpose.

Why as a release blocker? We can decide that #34038 is not completely
fixed without an underline, but 1d0fa848e084cad62d0bb6bde3b51e4862558e57
didn't introduce any regression so it's not a release blocker.
Closing as a duplicate of #34038.
