Describe the bug Data items representing individual events captured by Accessibility Insights have the name Axe.Windows.Desktop.UIAutomation.EventHandlers.EventMessage in the UIA tree. This is read by screen readers as you navigate, making the event grid very hard to use.

To Reproduce

1. Start NVDA and Accessibility Insights.
2. Record events with the tool.
3. Navigate to the grid of recorded events.
4. Press down arrow.

Expected behaviour NVDA reads a sane event description.

Actual behaviour NVDA says "Axe.Windows.Desktop.UIAutomation.EventHandlers.EventMessage data item", followed by information about the event as children gain focus.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: [e.g. Windows 10 1809] (Get the version by running winver from the command line) Windows 11 SV2 (22622.598)
• Accessibility Insights for Windows Version: 06abd42
• Target Application: [e.g. Chrome, Wildlife Manager] Windows Console (conhost.exe)
• Target Application Version: [e.g. 22] inbox

This issue has been marked as ready for team triage; we will triage it in our weekly review and update the issue. Thank you for contributing to Accessibility Insights!

Set name on element to "{Event Type} from {Event Source} at {Event Time}"

Yes, this seems like a reasonable reading order.
