I'm hesitant to implement something that only works for gtk3, so I tend to
think that implementing support in Gtk 4 and Qt would be a prerequisite in case
of depending on those attributes being present.
Maybe, an alternative might be to use the "AccessibleId" property of the
Accessible interface to identify it, and set that to the "id" attribute as
specified in the .ui file (cui/uiconfig/ui/spellingdialog.ui), currently (but
that could be adapted as needed):
* "SpellingDialog" for the dialog
* "suggestionslb" for the suggestions list
* "sentence" for the widget displaying the text/error
I haven't looked into that in detail yet, but from a first glance, it looks
like that should be doable with Gtk 3 and Qt (which uses the "full hierarchy
path" for the AccessibleId, so would probably have something like
"SpellingDialogsuggestionslb", but that could be
handled on Orca side.
Gtk 4 currently always reports an empty AccessibleId, but I could come up with
a MR suggesting to use the "buildable_id", which to me seems to fit with the
idea of what AccessibleId is there for.

For IAccessible2, that could still be mapped to an "accessible-id:;"
atttribute or somesuch if considered useful.
@Joanmarie: What do you think? Would that be helpful?
