NextJs 12.2 Are we supposed to be see <a> tag when "Inspect"ing on Browser for a <Link> tag used in nextJs code? I ask this coz I do not see one. I am trying to understand if this is expected? If so, whats the best way to get <A> tag while inspecting? I need it for SEO related.

Cool, thank you for the guidance.
@Harris's Hawk I think the legacy behavior of
next/link is to require a nested a tag, this only got changed on v13 which doesn't require it anymore. so if you are not rendering one in your JSX it seems expected to me to not be in the HTMLHarris's HawkOP
