   It is crucial for accessibility to revert this behavior. In the current implementation, screen readers cannot access the link. I tested it myself with NVDA. Blind users have no way of discovering it because it is effectively hidden by the <figure> tag. Screen readers ignore link tags placed inside a <figure>.
   Fixing this in the PDF for every image that contains a link (e.g., QR codes) requires significant manual effort.

   NEW:
   <Figure>
   __<Link>

   OLD
   <P>
   --<Link>
   ____<Figure>
