aria attributes , i.e. aria-label are a part of the accessibility toolkit worth knowing about.

ARIA - Accessibility | MDN

Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) is a set of roles and attributes that define ways to make web content and web applications (especially those developed with JavaScript) more accessible to people with disabilities.

With a huge caveat outlined in that guide:

Warning: Many of these widgets were later incorporated into HTML5, and developers should prefer using the correct semantic HTML element over using ARIA, if such an element exists.

Looking forward to what others contribute to the discussion!
