Yes, it is possible to create the example using native Webflow CSS and the aria-hidden function.

Here are the steps to do so:

  1. Open the Webflow Designer and navigate to the element where you want to apply the aria-hidden function.

  2. Select the element and go to the Styles panel.

  3. Scroll down to the Custom Attributes section and click on the "+" button.

  4. In the pop-up window, enter "aria-hidden" as the attribute name and set its value to "true".

  5. Click on the "Add" button to add the custom attribute to the element.

  6. The aria-hidden attribute will now be applied to the element, making it hidden from assistive technology.

Please note that using the aria-hidden function alone will only visually hide the element but still allow screen readers to access and read its content. If you wish to completely hide the element from both sighted users and screen readers, you may need to apply additional CSS, such as setting its display property to "none".

By using the aria-hidden function in Webflow, you can create a more accessible website by ensuring that assistive technology can properly navigate and interpret the content.
