I've looked at the link you mentioned, but the interesting documents seem to be not accessable currently...

Nevertheless on Linux the topic would be handled by using the stuff provided by the widgetset. E.g. for the GTK2 widgetset there is the ATK (Accessibilty ToolKit). I don't know what is needed to implement it or the equivalent for Qt.

Oh I was a bit wrong when I told that IA2 is suported on Linux. Maybe it
is, but I am not totally sure. Read about it briefly here:

The open-source screen reader Nvda supports this standard. For example
Firefox and Eclipse are perfectly usable.
So I think that it would be suitable enough for Lazarus also, if that is
possible.

How is that done?

IAccessible2 interfaces are exposed as .IDL file /type library. So my
questions are:
Is it possible to implement such interfaces in free pascal?

The compiler got many improvements regarding COM compatibility in the
last years, so yes one can implement such interfaces.

What about importing type library / converting .IDL to pascal?

As far as I know you'll need to use Delphi to convert the type library
to a Pascal unit. There is no converter for FPC (yet).

Sven
