Describe the bug

I need a multiselect (no free text input), and followed your own https://mantine.dev/combobox/?e=BasicMultiSelect example. however, I noticed that the example and the Combobox components does not actually add the combobox role, include a label element, add aria-selected or aria-multiselectable , even though the popup and option do have the listbox and option roles. this does not match something like w3.org own example (this also comes with a big warning). Are these combobox examples not meant to include appropriate a11y features? or is a combobox by its very nature not deemed possible to make accessible?

If possible, include a link to a codesandbox with a minimal reproduction

    I did not understand the question. Did you test the component with a screen reader and find issues that prevent users from interacting with the component?
