Could you explain this a bit more? You're talking about link compared to non-link. Why does this matter to you? I'm talking background to text. I'm not sure it's possible to have contrast between link and non-link text and at the same time preserve text-to-background contrast ratios.
Incidentally, what contrast checker are you looking at?
