Semantic elements for non-link links: Help and Screen Options

Reported by: afercia Owned by: afercia
Priority: normal Milestone: 4.3
Component: Administration Version: 4.2
Severity: normal Keywords: has-patch commit semantic-buttons
Cc: Focuses: accessibility

Description

For semantics and accessibility, links used as UI controls that are not real links but act as buttons should be buttons, see #26504.
The "Help" and "Screen Options" links already use an aria-expanded attribute and they just need to be marked up as buttons, with small CSS and JavaScript adjustments.
