There is a relatively recent experimental package for LaTeX that may be
of interest to you:

CTAN: https://www.ctan.org/pkg/tagpdf

GitHub: https://github.com/u-fischer/tagpdf

The package is maintained by Ulrike Fischer, who is very active in the
TeX community. However, the package description says:
