Another de facto standard link style not visually distracting is needed in the case of a large number of links

The standard link style is solid underline.
However, G183 says If there are not a large number of links in the block of text, underlines are recommended for links in blocks of text..
I think another link style not visually distracting is needed in the case of a large number of links such as wiki pages.

The various examples provided in G182 (blue bold text, red italic text) may not actually be recognized by users as links.
This is because website viewers do not have enough experience to recognize not solid lines as links.
So, I thought that providing another one new technique might have some hope of creating a de facto standard like solid lines.

@patrickhlauke Is this issue likely to be commented on?

not sure why you're singling me out here, but generally let me just say: this is unlikely to get any immediate traction for WCAG 2.x. it might be something you want to take to WCAG3 for consideration

also ... i admire the idea that providing a technique in wcag might create a de-facto standard, but realistically since there's still problems in getting the actual normative standard followed consistently, and techniques are only informative suggestions, I don't share that kind of optimism...
