Cool article! An extra thought about Verbs that lead to actions:

Although adding "Go to my saved items" is more explicit than "Saved items", in my opion, none of them is necessarily wrong. Let me explain why:

Visually, it's highly common to see links with "Save items" kind of text and people understand that the link will lead them to that destination. Writing "Go to my saved items" seems unnecessary.

Semantically, I think that's true too because the screen readers also announces the role of the element (in this case <a> is a "link") in addition to the text. So, "Saved items, link" indirectly means that it's an action that will lead to anoter destination, hence the unnecessary "Go to my..." prefix.

I don't have any resource/study to support this perspective, though. If someone has, please do let me know :)
