1952585 - Implement reference target

Status: NEW

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, enhancement)

Description

[Dan Clark]

Steps to reproduce:

Filing this as a tracking bug for implementing reference target.

Reference Target is a proposed feature that would allow authors to specify an element inside a shadow root to be the target or any ID references referring to the host element. This would enable IDREF attributes such as for and aria-labelledby to refer to elements inside a component's shadow DOM while maintaining encapsulation of the internal details of the shadow DOM.
