Orca can (assuming we get something from the app/toolkit we can filter
on). However, you will get a performance hit -- one which grows with the
size of the list.

If memory serves me, sluggishness in lists is something you frequently
mention. I trust you don't want me to add another heuristic to Orca's
list-related processing. ;) There's some new API we should add to ATK
and AT-SPI2 which should make this much, much more doable and performant.
