Research direction
Start with the linked Lit Playground reproduction and compare the md-icon-button variants with md-text-button, where programmatic click() already opens an href. Trace the component behavior responsible for handling href and click(), then verify that clicking the icon button programmatically navigates to its link without breaking the existing text-button behavior.
