On selecting a message containing multiple links or other interactive items in VoiceOver, how do I activate any after the default first item? Suppose an iPhone VoiceOver user receives a SMS message like this one: > Hello! Your order number 12345 is ready, you can check status on our website or app here https://app.example.com/orders/12345 With VoiceOver on, the number 12345 is treated as an interactive item, so most gestures I try on such a message select the number, not the link. If I open the message's context menu, or swipe down to "Actions - default", or if I do any of the things described in this Apple forum thread ["How do I open links on accessibility voiceover?"](https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6697603) , it only activates the number and gives me the option to copy the number to the clipboard. How can a VoiceOver user reach a link that isn't the first interactive item in the message?
