Dear lynx users.

I see more and more web sites (e.g. run by GSB, the "Government Site Builder",
as used by the German government) that use custom elements like
<pp-link href="...">
The pp-link element is turned into an a-element via JavaScript.
The funny thing is that they claim this complexity is done for the purpose of
accessibility regulation in the EU :-)
This works in browsers with JavaScript, but not in textual browsers.
Can I inform lynx that <pp-link> is like <a> so that
- detection of hyperlinks
- extraction of hyperlinks via lynx -dump ...
- etc.
work?

Greetings
Sven
