Right now, AccessibilityObject::supportsPressAction and AccessibilityObject::actionElement do complicated and expensive traversals and heuristics to determine if we can expose otherwise inaccessible click handler elements. For example: <span onclick="handleClick(this)" style="...styled to look like a button..."> Open Shopping Cart (inaccessible because there is no role="button") </span> We should consider reworking all of these functions to instead expose (compute accessibilityIsIgnored = false) elements with click handlers that have only one accessible descendant, as this will be simpler than our current implementation.
