Sources:
Enforce that tabIndex is assigned to non-interactive HTML elements with aria-activedescendant.
aria-activedescendant is used to manage to focus within a composite widget.
The element with the attribute aria-activedescendant retains the active document focus.
It indicates which of its child elements has a secondary focus by assigning the ID of that
element to the value of aria-activedescendant. This pattern is used to build a widget
like a search typeahead select list. The search input box retains document focus
so that the user can type in the input. If the down arrow key is pressed and
a search suggestion is highlighted, the ID of the suggestion element will be applied
as the value of aria-activedescendant on the input element.
Because an element with aria-activedescendant must be tabbable,
it must either have an inherent tabIndex of zero or declare a tabIndex attribute.
