Select will be deprecated somewhere next year, so we need to check the new component bal-dropdown

Compared the Screen Reader result of Design System Dropdown with the one here: https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/combobox/examples/combobox-select-only/

To me it seems like this works quiet similar and the options are read when I jump through them.

Hi @hirsch88 & @m4rc0z ,
did you fix bal-select?

FYI: A combobox is used as a combination of input fields and selects like a search. This ticket is about bal-select in forms.
