aria-details

ID reference

Points to the ID of an element that provides extended, structured detail about the current element — for instance a full description of a chart or image. Unlike aria-describedby, the referenced content can be rich (lists, tables, links) and users navigate to it rather than hearing it read inline. Reach for it when a simple text description isn't enough.

Value
The id of another element in the same document.
Used on
Any HTML element — aria-details is a global property.
Associated roles
Every ARIA role. As a global property, aria-details is supported on all roles.
Example
aria-details="…"
<img aria-details="chart-desc" src="sales.png" />
<div id="chart-desc">Detailed breakdown…</div>
