[Accessibility]: Global nav bar: User profile menu usability

[umpox]

Audit type

Screen reader navigation

User journey audit issue

#34411

Problem description

Focus styles

There isn't a clear blue outline focus when the menu has keyboard focus. It should appear like other elements do, such as the navigation links.

Menu items

When using a screen reader, links only appear as "MenuItem" - they should also read out the href and any other link related information to the user.

Expected behavior

Focus styles

Add clear blue focus outline when selected

Menu items
Ensure screen readers still treat each item as links. Note: we still want a menu item role somewhere, to support keyboard navigation. Maybe we can wrap each menu item in the link.
