Describe the feature you'd like
The ability to select icons through accessible means. For example in a current codebase we have a duplicate of the download icon like this:
const DownloadIcon = ({
color = Colors.ACTION_BLUE_900,
className,
title = 'download icon',
titleId,
}: {
color?: string
className?: string
title?: string
titleId: string
}) => {
return (
<svg
xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'
width='25'
height='24'
viewBox='0 0 25 24'
className={className}
aria-labelledby={titleId}
role='img'
>
<title id={titleId}>{title}</title>
<path
fill={color}
fillRule='nonzero'
d='M19.5 19v2h-14v-2h14zm-6-16v10.436l5-4.445v2.676L12.5 17l-6-5.333V8.991l5 4.445V3h2z'
/>
</svg>
)
}
This allows you to specify a title for the icon and then reference it accessibly, it might be nice if instead of passing an id for the title it could be autogenerated.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Wrapping the parent components in the accessible attributes, this might work for buttons but there might be other states where icons are displayed only as informative.
