[BottomSheet] BottomSheet has no obvious way to dismiss for voice over users

Feature Request/Suggestion

We've taken great pains to ensure our app is accessibility friendly, as every good app should. Currently there is no way or indication I can find when a BottomSheet comes up to close it using voice over. We can of course add our own button to the sheet that comes up (which is why I filed this as a feature, not a bug) but it would be great to make the dimmed out portion of the screen also be a button that is read and press-able using voice over. This feels like best practice since for sighted users, that's what that area visually indicates and tapping on it closes the dialog.

Hi @rustyshelf , I believe the 2-finger "Z" escape gesture should dismiss the bottom sheet. Please let me know if this is not the case. Thanks!

@andrewoverton that does indeed work, but what indication is given to a non-sighted user as to there being a dialog open that can be dismissed this way? Maybe there's a standard element I'm not aware of but I haven't noticed it?
