Description

With the PR 23526 the time tooltips began to be interactive, which means that the tippy module enable aria attributes as aria-expanded. However this attribute is invalid in the context of the actual estructure of the tooltip caller (the span container) which doesn't use labelledby to link the tooltip and haven't a role neither.

Tippy has some aria options, what should we set instead for such interactive tooltips?
