Table: Ability to use aria-describedby to provide a table summary

See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, there’s no way of using aria-describedby tag in order to give a table readable summary by computer software as MS Narrator and JAWS to read out loud the desired description of a table.

Describe the solution you’d like Ideally, the Table should provide a native aria-describedby tag and the ability to give aria-describedby an id that refers to an element (eg. Text, Label, Title, etc.) from which to take the summary of the table.

Additional context Please refer to https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/tables/caption-summary/#using-aria-describedby-to-provide-a-table-summary in order to see how this is done in a native HTML table.

Hi @MarcusNotheis

You’re right. The BCP Ticket is completely different. Oops… My mistake.
