I'm reviewing the design of a table that displays multiple users. One of t=
he columns contains a link to a page that displays a request the user had s=
ubmitted. This link is repeated for each search result. It takes the user t=
o the same page but the information changes depending on the user selected.=
Does this violate 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) Level A because it is a =
redundant link?
