MDN URL: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/PaintWorklet

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

To avoid leaking visited links, this feature is currently disabled for anchor (<a>) elements with an href attribute.
See w3c/css-houdini-drafts#791 for details.

Specific section or headline?

N/A

What did you expect to see?

This page should probably have a note about this limitation, we already had two question on stackoverflow by users suprised about it, and while there is a small note hidden in the specs, having a clear one in MDN's article would probably be helpful.

Did you test this? If so, how?
