Well, from what I hear, JAWS should say, for example, "Google search box", when you arrow up from the Google search field.

It could also apply to a replacement standard, I think is called User Interface Accessibility (UIA), or from both. This would only be useful if the developer actually provided this text within the application. This might be helpful in applications using MSAA, like iTunes. What is the hotkey to get the help information?
