Add “title” attribute to the button block

[yglik]

Hi,
I would like the ability to add a “title” attribute to the button block.
so the html output will be:
<a href=“/nowhere” title=“awesome”>button text!</a>

as also described here
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-title-attribute-to-the-button-block/#post-17504173

The title attribute is a native tooltip, it’s good for accessibility and it’s a common attribute that I think should have a place in the core button block.

the implementation shouldn’t be difficult
It’s adding a block attribute and a hi that can be placed in the “extra” button in the block toolbar

I would really appreciate insights and thoughts about this subject
Thanks

Thanks for the report.

Previously, the button block had a UI for setting the title attribute, but it seems to have been removed in #19735 for accessibility reasons.

However, the title attribute itself remains internally for backward compatibility. Therefore, I think that developers who want to provide a UI for the title attribute can do so by hooking the Edit component.

So should i edit it?

What a mind blowing reading that was.
thank you @t-hamano for that really important information.

Now instead of spending time building this feature into a plugin I’m going to spend time removing all my title attributes and replacing them in something more accessible.
just need to figure out what that is 😅

I think this issue can be closed
