> Does this mean that there is no way to code a selected state for a list of dots that are also links? Would a mix of aria-controls and aria-label make this any easier? I still don't see a way to indicate something is selected using ARIA.

These remind me of the page indicators on iOS. For example, VoiceOver announces "page 1 of 7, adjustable, swipe up or down to adjust."

It think it makes more sense to treat the dots as one control with different values rather than separate controls one of which is selected. Perhaps an ARIA slider is an equivalent.
