  // * with search input: the input is focused, and it works perfectly with aria-activedescendant pointing another sibling element.
  // * without search input (but the readonly text), the dropdown itself is focused. then the aria-activedescendant points to the element inside dropdown

  // expected user interactions for dropdown with aria support:
  // * user can use Tab to focus in the dropdown, then the dropdown menu (list) will be shown
  // * user presses Tab on the focused dropdown to move focus to next sibling focusable element (but not the menu item)
  // * user can use arrow key Up/Down to navigate between menu items
  // * when user presses Enter:
  //    - if the menu item is clickable (eg: <a>), then trigger the click event
  //    - otherwise, the dropdown control (low-level code) handles the Enter event, hides the dropdown menu
