Description
This epic is to collect dedicated issues to fix misusages of anchors (<a>) where buttons should be used.
Example: This is an anchor tag that should really be a button and needs migration.
<a href="#" onClick="foo();">Some title</a>
<button type="button" onClick="foo();">Some title</button>
Note: We do not use onClick function calls, this is just an example.
The look and feel should be kept as is for now.

Labeling is another point we might try to fix here for buttons that consist of an icon only:
<button type="button">
SOME_ICON_CODE
<span class="visually-hidden">SOME LABEL</span>
</button>
<button type="button" aria-label="SOME LABEL">
SOME_ICON_CODE
</button>

We only want to use aria-label when no other way is possible. The workaround with "visually-hidden" is the actually preferred solution here.
