link is not identified as a link by NVDA in Excel sheets, instead it reads it as a simple text.

Excel 2010
Link/hyperlink is not recognized as a link by NVDA in an Excel sheet. On moving to a cell that contains a link, no indication is given.
Steps to reproduce:

1. Write or insert a hyperlink in a cell.
2. Move to the cell with UP/DOWN ARROW.
3. NVDA reads the text as a simple text and does not announce it as a link.

It simply announces "link" before the text, on moving by using keyboard keys into the cell which contains hyperlink.

Hi,
Update the code in 2921 ( indicate comments) to indicate links also.
For cell which has formula, comment as well as link, NVDA will speak
'has formula comment link'
This patch is based on the branch mentioned in 2921

Please review this patch:

git repository: ​https://bitbucket.org/manish_agrawal/nvda.git
branch: t3042
base branch: t2921 in same repository

Thanks
Vardhan

Sorry - the new implementation is not quite like the provided patch. But we probably should never have used description to indicate formula in the first place.
