I'm not sure if the good version is the Text Input one or the Text Area one actually. When there is an helper text plus an helper link, we don't add the link to the aria attribute.
I couldn't find any message explaining the strategy regarding the link.
Maybe @nilloq have some memories about this part ?

In any case, when the strategy is clear, we should add an explaination in the documentation about it. The fact that the link should be linked only when there is no helper text should be more explicit.

On a call with Mewen, we agreed that :

  • We should remove the link from describedby since it will vocalized anyway on next tab.
  • It's not forbidden but better without
