Alt+a focuses but does not select "annotations" in NVDA Elements list dialog in Word #6167

Description

@Qchristensen

In Browse mode, in Word, pressing NVDA+F7 brings up the elements list dialog. The K in Links, H in Headings and A in Annotations are all underlined visually. Pressing alt+k focuses AND selects Links (so you can then press TAB to go to the list of links. Pressing alt+h for headings works the same way. Pressing alt+a works differently: It moves the focus to the annotation radio button but does not activate it as the "Activate" button (for launching links) also uses the alt+a shortcut (even if there aren't any links and the "activate" button is disabled). If the focus is currently on links (the default) and there is at least one link, pressing alt+a activates the currently selected (or fist) link.

My initial feeling is to question whether the "activate" button needs an "alt+letter" shortcut, given that when it is available it becomes the active button so the easiest way to launch a link is to location it in the elements list and press ENTER rather than ALT+A.
