The command to take advantage of this technique in JAWS is "JAWS KEY + T".
The objective of this technique is to describe the purpose of a link from the context provided by its heading context. The preceding heading provides context for an otherwise unclear link. The description lets a user distinguish this link from links in the Web page that lead to other destinations and helps the user determine whether to follow the link.
Note: Whenever possible, provide link text that identifies the purpose of the link without needing additional context.
The information for each hotel consists of the hotel name, a description and a series of links to a map, photos, directions, guest reviews and a booking form.
