I would like to define a special class of hyperlinks.
For regular text span, this would be done by defining and using a custom role like this:
.. role:: myrole
This is :myrole:`whatever`.
which then appears as <span class="myrole">whatever</span> in HTML and as \DUrole{myrole}{whatever} in LaTeX (as documented).
Is there a way to do the same for hyperlinks, so that I get \DUrole{myrole}{\sphinxhref{target}{text}} in LaTeX?
The issue is, hyperlinks don't seem to have a named role (so that one could define inherited role .. role:: myhyper(hyperlink)) and can only be created with backticks:
`text <target>__`
which can't be nested in another role's parameter because of the backticks.
(There is a way to create those with MyST parser and attrs_inline extension as [text](target){.myhyper}, but it only works with the HTML writer and does not get exported into LaTeX.)
