Description

Is this a new component or an extension of an existing one?
Label group

Describe the feature
Currently when a label is added via the examples/demos where a label can be added, there's no indication that a label was successfully added when interacting via VoiceOver.

A live region on the label group when addLabelControl is passed in would help resolve this, but may be verbose if there are a lot of labels (each label would get read out loud, not just the newly created one).

Are there visuals for this feature? If applicable, please include examples for each state and for varying widths
Include screenshots or links to Marvel or other mockups.

Research direction

Start with the Label group examples/demos and trace the behavior when addLabelControl is passed in. Review the VoiceOver announcement requirement and decide how to announce a newly added label without rereading every label; done means the result is conveyed accessibly in the relevant interaction.
