Links not keyboard accessible when inside VML #77

It looks like an <a> element, nested inside a VML background isn't focusable or clickable via a keyboard input.

So far I've been unable to test this myself in a live environment, so if anyone else is able to that would be great. I would also be interested if this is accessible with a screen reader.

This is an issue raised on Email geeks slack here is the original post for reference.

Hi all, I’ve noticed on Outlook Desktop (Windows) that if you have a module with a full width background-image being used (with VML code), and have a text/CTA overlay on top, the CTA is inaccessible with keyboard tab (it highlights the background-image and moves to the next content), is this is a known Outlook bug or is there a way around this?
