[Accessibility] Chat links are not available for Talkback #109

Description

@adbenitez
  • Android version: 16

  • Talkback version: 16.2

  • Expected behavior:
    When a message element is focused and activated via a double-tap, the link within it should be triggered.

    However, since a message may contain multiple links, providing distinct child elements for each link is the preferred approach to ensure clarity and precise selection.

    Alternatively, instead of child elements, the message object should implement Custom Actions. These actions allow TalkBack to perform specific functions on the current object and are accessible via the TalkBack menu or the Reading controls menu.

  • Actual behavior:
    The message element does not respond to the activation gesture (double-tap), and no Custom Actions are available for the URLs within the message.

  • Steps to reproduce the problem:

    1. Open any chat.
    2. Locate or send a message containing one or more URLs.
    3. Move the TalkBack focus to the message element.
    4. Attempt to double-tap to activate the link.
    5. Open TalkBack menu (L-swipe or multi-finger tap) and check for Actions.
