Description
### Provide a general summary of the issue here
I tried to use ARIA live regions with the RAC `` component, but changes to the page were not being announced as expected. In comparison, using a similar pattern with a native `` worked correctly (see demo below).
I tried to solve this on my own, but failed. But I found out that
- the `aria-controls` prop is not being passed down to any element within the RAC ``,
- passing the `aria-controls` prop to the `` element doesn't seem to have any effect on screen reader behavior, and
- manually correcting the DOM and adding the `aria-controls` to the hidden select does not have any effect either (I guess because it is in an `aria-hidden` tree anyway).
### 🤔 Expected Behavior?
When chosing an item from the `` (`ListBoxItem`) screen reades will announce the content change within the related live region.
### 😯 Current Behavior
When selecting an item, the screenreader will only read were the focus currently is.
### 💁 Possible Solution
I only found a work around by putting the `aria-controls` on a ``. But this changes the UX a lot, because after selecting something from the `` you also need to submit the form. But then the announcement works :)
I would gladly help were I can, but I have not enough experience with screen readers and accessibility I fear.
### 🔦 Context
I think this is a very common pattern. It basically boiles down to "user selects something, another part on the page dynamically updates".

(I created the demo using bolt.new, which was super fast. I hope I found all the bugs it implemented :D)
