Description

Currently we do not include any accessibility properties in the sample code snippets.

Since we're using gallery to have RNW a11y graded and are putting in an effort to make sure the examples we use there meet all of the accessibility requirements, it might be a good idea to include these properties within the sample code so that we're encouraging more inclusive coding practices. This would also mean that anyone copying the examples directly from gallery, would be getting the correct accessibility behavior "for free."

Research direction

Start by locating the Gallery sample code snippets and comparing them with the accessibility requirements used for RNW a11y grading. Done means the relevant examples include the required accessibility properties and provide the correct accessibility behavior when copied from Gallery.
