Suppress clickable reporting for inherently clickable elements
Brief summary
Elements like links and buttons are known to be interactive (unless explicitly "unavailable"). NVDA should not bother reporting them as "clickable."
Steps to reproduce
- Open VSCode.
- Install the GitHub Copilot extension.
- Press Ctrl+Shift+I and send a test message.
- Review the last button, last edit field, and last link on this screen using single-letter navigation keys.
Actual behavior
NVDA reports:
- clickable button Screen Reader Optimized
- clickable Chat Input (Agent), edit files in your workspace...
- clickable link Unhelpful
Expected behavior
NVDA omits "clickable" in each case. P.S. I recognize that this is more a UX change request than a bug report.

@jcsteh I recall you had some insights on this on an older issue but I cannot find it. I guess this is a web authoring issue, but I am not sure. Do oyu have any thoughts?
