Description

### Product

### Product Version

_No response_

### Latest Version

- [X] I have tested the issue with the latest version of the product

### Issue Description

#### Expectation
Issue must be flagged when the link is not distinguishable with surrounded text when color alone used and no other indicators.

#### Actual
axe core does not identify or flag any issue for the above scenario. The entire paragraph is bolded in this scenario.

#### How to Reproduce
1. Launch the URL - https://online.citi.com/US/ag/investing/investingwithciti
2. Run the axe-core using axe Expert and axe DevTools on the modal.
3. Notice that there is no issue flagged for the link on the modal.
