…when it contains mandatory info (e.g. data format)
Description
In order to ensure that user will have all the needed information with a screen reader, it could be better to link form-text (helper text) to input with aria-labelledby (instead of aria-describedby) when it contains mandatory information, like data format. When helper text is not so important, it can still be linked with aria-describedby.
Motivation & Context
This PR is coming form an exchange with @Aniort, Orange accessibility expert.
It is due to the fact that aria-labelledby is better supported by all assistive technologies than aria-describedby, and that reading of aria-describedby may be disabled, depending on settings.
