Accessibility features for Menu Items

[maddel]

Feature Request Description

Within Work Zone we will use the Menu Web Component (for React) to show a context menu.

We have Menu Items that show a shortcut for some actions. To announce the shortcut we need the aria-shortcuts attribute on the focussed menu item (shadow dom) LI element. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-keyshortcuts

Additionally some Menu Items will need more specific role as they act as a checkbox or radiobutton (not in screenshot) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/menuitemcheckbox_role https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/menuitemradio_role

Proposed Solution

Add additional attibute to maintain the aria-shortcut on Menu Item Add additional attribute role (defaults to menuitem as today) to also maintain the menuitemcheckbox and menuitemradio values.

Proposed Alternatives

As modification of shadow dom elements is not possible and the focus is not set on the menuitem (tag) itselft there is no know alternative to achieve the ACC behavior that is expected.
