Default Hyperlink Tag (<a>) Apple News Format

Is there a way to give a default text color to <a> tags in apple news format. I'm testing this in Apple News Preview currently, and I can't figure out what's wrong.

According to the documentation, I should be able to style the <a> tag using "default-tag-a"

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_news/apple_news_format/components/using_html_with_apple_news_format#2992870

However, this doesn't appear to work. It works perfectly when I do paragraph tags like "default-tag-p" or span tags like "default-tag-span".

Maybe, I'm missing something. Here is my code

"textStyles": {
    "default-tag-a": {
      "textColor": "#1967d2"
   }
  }

when I add a font like

"textStyles": {
    "default-tag-a": {
      "fontName": "Georgia",
      "textColor": "#1967d2"
   }
  }

This does change the font. So i'm wondering can I change the text color for links in apple news? and if so, how?

Thanks for your assistance.
