Description

Can we please have support to an aria-label property.
I am trying to make my application accessible. In case of the slider, I am not able to set an aria-label property, so screen readers are not announcing anything if focus comes on a slider.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by locating the slider handle rendering and any existing accessibility-related props or tests. Support passing aria-label to the focused slider control, then verify that a screen reader announces the label when focus reaches the slider.
