[Accessibility] Proposed features/Key:blind:website:lg

Hello!

I'm adding information regarding Wheelchair Accessibility to the Map in my
area. One of the Superstores in my area has a published
accessibility guide, including pictures, etc.
https://www.accessable.co.uk/tesco/access-guides/tesco-aberdeen-extra

I can't put all of the information into the wheelchair:description tag both
because of the character limit and because you can't put images into a tag.
When checking the wiki, I found the proposed feature Key:blind:website:lg
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Key:blind:website:lg>
but
it doesn't appear to be widely used, and there also appears to be no
equivalents for the other accessibility tags.

At the moment, I've just linked to the accessibility guide in the
wheelchair:description tag, but I feel there's probably a better way of
doing this? Linked Changeset
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/118123203>

Does anyone have more information or best practice with this type of guide?
I'd love for the additional information to be accessible to people who use
other OSM-based maps for accessibility, such as Wheelmap.
