click here is intrinsically bad because it is not appropriate to the task
for more than just screen readers.  title is not always supported and it is
the link text that needs the information for the link.

Link text like "Click here" is bad because it does not make sense in screen
readers (WCAG 13.1). But I have seen some websites using meaningful title
attributes in such cases, and I am wondering if that could make such link
text acceptable or not?
