The page has a "download" button, which requests
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/VirusVariation/activ/?report=download_lineages
and offers to save it as "lineages.csv".

I think that the information you're looking for is available if you
feed this URL to read.csv() and look at the aa_definition column.
