someone at work requested a link be added to a widget but because the widget uses its own layout system the link cant be added with proper localization so someone proposed we put the text in a styled box that is not a link and then overlap it with an invisible button that would be a fixed size so would not match the localized text if it wasn't the same size as english and I gave an impassioned speech about if you ever find yourself building an alternate HTML renderer inside a web page you are lost and then it was silent on the phone for a while and then decided I guess we just won't add that link then
