Expected Behavior

Extra info which only appears on Tooltip should be announced by Screen Reader for all controls throughout Terminal app.
i.e. For 'Open JSON file', Tooltip is 'Open your Settings.json file, Alt+ Click to open defaults.json file' and Screen Reader should announce something like this 'Open your Settings.json file, Alt+ Click to open defaults.json file 1 of 1'

Actual Behavior

Extra info which only appears on Tooltip is not announced by Screen Reader for some controls throughout Terminal app.
i.e. For 'Open JSON file', Tooltip is 'Open your Settings.json file, Alt+ Click to open defaults.json file' and Screen Reader is only announcing 'Open JSON file 12 of 12'

Observation:

Narrator users have option to read tooltips using shortcut key 'Caps lock + 0' keys.
