Go to: https://lightningdesignsystem.com/utilities/interactions And choose "Faux Link On A Span" Notice nothing happens to the span/link. From checking the source code it looks like the old BEM format has the class implemented: .slds-text-link--faux But the newer one isn't - however there is a new this a new class 'slds-type-focus' So I'm assuming the docs should describe this class instead.
