Indeed, new for me.

I was curious and typed 'AccessibleContext' in the search box of
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewforum.php?f=19 => 109 matches ...

First on master, afterwards, if successful, application on 25.8.

1. I'm sure that, after your commits, the LO code is now better prepared for
the future, but ...

2. A standard feature of LO is deeply broken:
(https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/sbasic/shared/03/sf_toolbarbutton.html?DbPAR=BASIC).
The subcomponents of a toolbar cannot be read anymore with the so far used
[UNO] interfaces.
=> A sustainable alternative should be found.

3. I reset the status of this bug report.

4. Thanks for your support !
