Like others have said...there probably isn't a fool-proof way for an automated tool to determine that the above is an interactive widget and exactly what keystrokes need to be used.

However, you might be able to devise automated tests that verify that a drop down menu that was included in the design specs is present and works like the design specs say it should.

So you might be able to automate testing that way. Of course, it does mean that accessibility needs to be considered during design and documented well enough to create tests.
