Actual Results
The disabled state is not programmatically defined for “Basic” link.
As a result, screen reader users are not able to understand the link's disabled state.
Expected Results
The screen reader should announce the disabled state of the link.
Add aria-disabled="true" attribute when the link is in the disabled state. Ensure that the value of "aria-disabled" attribute is updated to "false" when the link is in the enabled state on user interaction via scripting.
