I'd highly recommend that long descriptions be available visually for users with low vision to be able to access.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hello, I’m looking for a replacement for long description that could be navigated with a screen reader cursor but does not appear in the visible text like a figcaption does. It was suggested to use offscreen text immediately following the graphic (<img>) and then use an aria-details to point to the off screen text. I’m wondering if perhaps using aria-owns in this situation might make sense, as that would more closely tie the full description to the <img> tag. I will be trying this out over the next few days, but if there is an existing best practice that I should look at first? Thanks! Jonathan Cohn
