      Actual Results

      The "create a new page" link within the "Linked pages" dialog is not accessible to users who rely solely on keyboard navigation. This accessibility concern arises because the element is implemented as an <a> tag lacking an "href" attribute, thereby preventing the control from obtaining keyboard focus.

      This made it difficult for keyboard-only users to access the functionality associated with the mentioned link.

      Expected Results

      Ensure that all interactive elements receive keyboard focus, are operable by keyboard. 
      In this scenario, add a valid "href" attribute to the  <a> element so it functions as a proper link.

      Code Snippet

      <a class="js-create-page-link" href="https://instenv-576083- ...">create a new page</a>

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
