When aria-flowto has a single IDREF, it allows assistive technologies to, at the user’s request, forego normal document reading order and go…

The aria-activedescendant property provides an alternative method of managing focus for interactive elements that may contain multiple focusable descendants, such as menus, grids, and toolbars.
