Description
Is this a new component or an extension of an existing one?
And extension/adjustment of Popover
Describe the feature
Allow interactive content for using it in scenarios where other components such as Modal, Menu, or Dropdown, don’t quite fit the use case.
As an example, see the screenshots below of rough prototypes for an interface that allows users quick access to available Wi-Fi networks and keyboard layout from a top toolbar.
One concern I have is that the Popover component internally uses the aria-describedby
attribute, which I believe makes the interactive content inaccessible. From my limited understanding of accessibility, and after reviewing MDN's documentation, it seems that using aria-details
might help.
The
aria-describedby
property is appropriate when the associated content contains plain text. If the content is extensive, contains useful semantics, or has a complex structure requiring user navigation, use aria-details instead.aria-details
allows assistive technology users to visit the associated structured content and provides additional navigation commands, making it easier to understand the structure, or experience the information in smaller pieces.
Are there visuals for this feature? If applicable, please include examples for each state and for varying widths

Any other information?
