SwiftUI accessibility when embedded in UIKit

Hello,

I struggle to do some UI testing using accessibility identifiers when I wrap some SwiftUI view using UIHostingController (our app is mainly coded using UIKit).

Considering this SwiftUI view (simplified for this post):

        HStack {
            Text(self.title.uppercased())
                .albusTheme(.header)
                .lineLimit(self.isMultiline ? nil : 1)
                .multilineTextAlignment(.leading)
                .accessibilityAddTraits(.isStaticText)
                .accessibilityIdentifier("section_title")

        }

This view and its controller are embedded as a UITableViewHeaderFooterView in a UITableView.

This is an extract of recursiveDescription output:

   |    |    |    |    |    | <_UITableViewHeaderFooterContentView: 0x1076ad720; frame = (0 0; 393 40); layer = <CALayer: 0x6000006b1720>>
   |    |    |    |    |    |    | <_TtGC13ListComponent19SwiftUIFieldContentV20ListComponentLibrary17FormSectionHeader_: 0x1076ab980; baseClass = UIControl; frame = (0 0; 393 40); layer = <CALayer: 0x6000006b1da0>>

CGDrawingView seems to hide the underlying view hierarchy. Is there a way to access accessibility settings using the integration of SwiftUI in UIKit?
