Accessibility Behavior
Screen readers behave differently depending on the content of the Popover:
Dialog behavior—When the Popover is displayed on click and it has form elements that can be focused, it matches the dialog aria behavior. When shown, the focus will be moved to the first focusable element inside the Popover.
Tooltip behavior—Screen readers will read the Popover's content, however the focus will remain on the element that triggers the Popover.
