For gtk4 a11y, as Caolán mentioned, this currently lacks upstream Gtk 
API to implement what's needed, see for example the discussion in these 
Gtk issues:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/6272
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/6204
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/6269
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/6197

The latter mentions a potential approach (in my perspective this would 
feel more like a workaround ) to implement the low-level platform a11y 
API (AT-SPI) directly in LO for things like the document content instead 
of using (non-existing) Gtk API, but there are open questions for that 
approach also.
