Describe the bug

It is not possible to activate a element in with pressing down the enter or space key. It is only possible by mouseclick. Angulars RouterLink directive lacks support for enter and space key.

@Retch I mentioned how I managed to solve it in #17563 (comment)
I am not 100% sure if its a bug. I can provide a PR if someone decides that it should be fixed.
