That sounds reasonable. I'd also prefer having a more widely used solution
rather than something LO-specific.
Do you know what's the best way to find a consensus on something that would be
used more widely?

I don't  think this is set in stone, and the doc for the ATK equivalent is not
restricted to testing either, so I think it makes sense to adjust the AT-SPI
XML documentation as well. Pending MR:

>From an implementation perspective, using the AccessibleId would IMHO have the
advantage that it wouldn't require introducing new object attributes and
there's already existing API to easily set that for ATK, GTK 3 and Qt at least.
