Hi. I've already touch this topic few months ago, but what do you think about adding a feature that will add link semantics to custom elements, or at least to tr? Because I saw a lot of need for the table row to behave like a link and you cannot wrap it with an a element.

Yea, actually this is what came to my mind https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/6223

vrafaeli: if there's no issue for link semantics in WICG/webcomponents it seems reasonable to open one. It won't help you with tr though.

Link "semantics" are already possible with ariaRole
07:39
<Domenic>
It sounds like the desire is more for link behavior
07:39
<Domenic>
You can do that with <tr is="my-link" data-href="my-url">
07:39
<Domenic>
Where my-link is a web component you write

Domenic: how do you get right-click semantics?
08:09
<annevk>
Domenic: a role is just conveying something to AT, nothing more, it's not the same
08:10
<Domenic>
I would call those right click behaviors, but yeah, fair point that you don't get them.
08:11
<annevk>
I think it's a semantic as what a UA chooses to offer for links is up to them and it might also vary wildly across platforms

<vrafaeli>
What is AT?

Panos Astithas: WHATNOT still conflicts with Interop
Sorry about that. I'm told that this should only happen when the Interop meeting's cadence is weekly and even then it's only once every 6 weeks. So I'm assuming this will probably be the last conflict for a long while?

annevk: What exactly are the challenges of implementing (adding to spec) href for <tr>?
