Sorry but those panels always appeared hardly to use for me as a SR-user, even partially sighted. Then I prefer to browse the available code, I can save in the browser and analyze in an editor.

Any further proposals for SR users?

Browser developer tools, in their Accessibility panel, will show you the calculated accessible name, which in theory is what JAWS/NVDA should be announcing (unless it's missing, in which case they'll apply their own heuristics).
