Description
Hi, this proposal is derivated from one of the custom plugins we use at Whodunit. It is not open sourced neither in the .org repository yet, but I'll put it on a GitHub repo next week.
The idea is to implement an interface to add custom ARIA attributes to any block in the editor, just like we have an interface to add custom CSS classes at the block level.
Of course, good use of ARIA attributes need a certain level of expertise, but I can see a good opportunity in this canonical plugin to test the implementation.
What do you think?
