Description

GTK has a "Accessibility warnings" feature than can show overlay for elements with a11y issues.

We should either add a toggle somewhere or mention how to use it in the Accessibility demo

the problem is that we can only enable it on out-of-process previews so it won't work for Javascript currently

Research direction

Start by inspecting the Accessibility demo and the preview handling described in the issue, with attention to the out-of-process limitation. Determine whether the project should expose a toggle or document the GTK Accessibility warnings feature; done means the chosen path works for supported previews and clearly explains that JavaScript previews are unsupported.
