Is it possible for users to add their own HTML/ARIA attributes to Telerik components as needed?
There are some elements in Telerik components that are failing Success Criterion 4.1.2, "ARIA attribute cannot be used, add a role attribute or use a different element: aria-label", because they have the aria-label attribute but they don't have the required aria-role attribute to go along with it.
One example is in the grid component: https://demos.telerik.com/blazor-ui/grid/keyboard-navigation. Demo the component using "EDIT IN TELERIK REPL" and run an axe or Accessibility Insights test on the page to see these errors on a couple of elements. One of the elements that has this error is the next/previous button for pagination:
<a data-index="10" aria-label="Go to the next page" title="Go to the next page" class="k-link k-pager-nav " tabindex="-1"><!--!-->
<span class="k-icon k-i-arrow-60-right" role="presentation"></span><!--!-->
</a>
In this case, we would need to add the appropriate aria-role attribute to the <a> tag.
What is the best way to add these attributes? Also, are you planning on fixing this accessibility issue across all your components?
