Does the title attribute work on a link?

Test Text

Here is some sentence text. This is a link somewhere .... here is some more text

Results

The accessibility API calculation algorithm shows them as both reporting to the accessibility API as the ACCNAME and that the link text has precedence over the title, causing it to not report.

But it appears screen readers are directly querying the DOM to provide both. JAWS is a bit sluggish to read. It reads the link, pauses for a bit too long, then reads the title.
