There might be some freaky way to do that with ARIA, but no one is going to understand what's happening. Why do you want to do that?

Subject: [WebAIM] mark up for table read in screen reader

Hi, in a table with 3 rows and 3 columns, can that table be marked up in a screen reader so you can read in the diagonal direction from one cell to another, i.e. row 1 cell 1 to row 2 cell 2? Or is it only able to move the cursor in the right-left or up-down direction?
