This is controlled by the aria-haspopup attribute, which is documented in
the menuitem role section at

Subject: [WebAIM] Accessible sub menu items

Hi List,

I've run into a stumbling block while undertaking some development work I'm
doing to improve the accessibility of a dropdown menu component we use. How
are sub menus handled? We are using the menu and menuitem roles, but there
doesn't seem to be anything in the spec relating to sub menus. I've not had
any luck with Google either, all accessible dropdown menus I find are only
single-level.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Sean
