(Level A)

Is there a definition in WCAG for the term "or are available in text.” 

So a title attribute can create not just an accessible name 4.1.2 but also a relationship connection 1.3.1? I could see the argument for aria-labelledby as that’s an association but aria-label or title are not connecting anything programmatically to the input.
