Magnify tool inside the infographic

As my organisation starts to prioritise accessibility, its disappointing that some of the most powerful and useful components fail some accessibility standards.

The Evolve team have been so helpful on these forums answering queries as to why the infographic component isn’t accessible, and some settings that can be switched on to make it more compliant. I’ve heard animations are a failure of level A because of how they interact with the viewport.

Beyond that, it seems the main issue is text scalability. We already create different versions for different device sizes and swap with logic, but that is still a failure of SC1.4.4: Text should be able to resize to x2 for low vision users.

Would it be possible to add the magnifier tool to the infographic like is already present on regular graphics? The issue here would be not everyone wants to use it - so maybe it could be activated through a button in the corner like the full screen function? This would enable us to use infographics for AA standard courses.
