How can we assign the unique accessibility identifiers to the urls in UITextView In the accessibility inspector, I am able to see the urls as separate elements but not able to set the accessibility identifiers for them. The accessibility identifiers are needed for automation testing.

In the screenshots added here, i have taken a UITextView which has urls in it.

You can use User Defined Runtime Attributes as detailed here:

This isn't possible with the current API, if you find yourself needing to do this, please file a feedback report with a justification for your use case.
