Is there a chance to summarize the nested hyperlinks (div inside div with same target) to the outermost one? So that we don't get this in web apps like YouTube for example?

No source file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. First reproduce the nested same-target hyperlinks in YouTube or another web app, then trace the hyperlink parsing path and determine how the outermost link should be selected. Done means nested links with the same target are summarized as one outermost link without changing unrelated links.
