Expectation for the aria-details attribute: convey the referenced content (jump or convey) - applied to the img element

This expectation is applied to the img element. Expectations and results might differ when the the feature is applied to different roles.

This expectation is from the aria-details attribute feature.

Rationale:

If the details are not adjacent to the element with aria-details, it might be helpful to jump directly to the reference or have it conveyed.

Strength of this expectation for different types of assistive technologies:

Screen Readers: SHOULD
Voice Control: NA

Grading method:

Just one of the listed commands must pass for the expectation to pass.
