Accessible Drag and Drop with Multiple Items

First of all, thank you! This is amazing!

I’m including it into a simple web page builder. That being said, I have very limited knowledge of javascript, and intend to pass it off to wiser javascript developers than I to get the whole page building experience going - I’m just building the static template and trying to include as much accessibility in as possible, in advance.

But in testing my rudimentary version, which totally works from a strictly keyboard/mouse perspective, I could only get VoiceOver to indicate when something was selected. Neither NVDA or JAWS seemed to pick up that I had clicked something. Do you have any advice on whether I need to use aria-selected somewhere to get verbal affirmation and would that even work? I admit, I’m fresh-off-the-boat on learning the many aria roles, but I’m trying! Also, do you know of any aria role that I can attach to the drop-zone as a verbal indicator that someone could drop something there?
