### Issue Description
The rule for target size does not appear to handle elements referenced by `aria-activedescendant` well. For example, modify the options in the [scrollable listbox example](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/listbox/examples/listbox-scrollable/) such that they fail this rule, run axe, and obverse that axe does not return any issues.
I haven't thought this through yet - I'm not sure how reasonable it is to automate this aspect, but I at least wanted to report it.
