In many web apps there are going to be buttons and links that are not represented as <a>. You would realistically have to enumerate everything that has any kind of event handler attached since it could potentially trigger an API call.

You would also have to fill and submit forms with valid and invalid data. You would have to toggle checkboxes, change radio buttons, click buttons, (e.g. "Apply filters" after changing values in a product filter section), and generally go through many combinations of inputs to find all valid parameters and possible responses.
