I’m wondering if it’s a pop-up and if you would’ve escaped or Tabbed to close button, it would’ve popped you to the main PayPal page

I felt confused at first, since I wasn't used to having the Send and Request links read that way. I took a quick look at the page source, and I'm not really a web developer, so I'm not particularly good at figuring out what is going on with web pages, with all of the frameworks that are in use these days, but it is clear that the site is exposing strings such as "Item of Quick Links" for a11y purposes. I'm just venting mostly, but I'm wondering where the idea came from that menu items should provide textual information about their parent menu for a11y purposes. It's been a while since I've looked at the WCAG, but I don't recall there being a recommendation like that, and, at least for me, the result is just a bit confusing and takes getting used to.
