Bug description
As a Voice Over user,
When I focus the button about terms of uses in the slash views,
Voice Over does not vocalize it as link even if it must because it opens an external web page
Steps to reproduce
- Build the app from scratch
- Enable Voice Over
- Focus the ToS button
Actual result: ToS button is vocalized as button only
Expected result: ToS button must be vocalized also as link as it directs to another external page and not a view with the app as native view

Research direction
Start by reproducing the ToS control in the splash view with VoiceOver enabled, then locate the control's accessibility configuration. Confirm that it opens an external web page and should expose both button and link traits; done when VoiceOver announces it as both and the relevant iOS behavior is verified.
