A11y Feature Request

Describe the new a11y feature

Putting the aria-hidden="true" attribute on interactable elements prevents the interactable elements from being interactive from assistive technologies.

Acceptance criteria

  • Show a warning/error if aria-hidden="a" is detected on a <a>, <button>, <input>, [role="button"], [tabindex="0"], etc

Why is this a11y feature important?

It's important to not block interactive elements from assistive technologies.
