Description

Having a visible label for an IconButton will help users with cognitive disabilities and increase usability for everyone, since it's not always obvious from the icon what action is possible.

In PVC, all IconButton default to having a tooltip (IconButton PVC docs). I recall this decision was made after input from accessibility design. Could we follow the same pattern here?
