Hi,

No, aria-describedby cannot be the substitute for the accessible label
as mentioned by Birkir. However, using title attribute will not give
same experience across the assistive technologies on all platform. It
is recommended that the title alone cannot be considered as accessible
label.

Thanks & Regards,
Mohith B. P.
