Describe the bug When clicking on the label for a form element in iOS, the native element picker opens as well as the keyboard, making it impossible to pick anything. It should not open the keyboard in this situation. This is different from the feature request at https://github.com/Choices-js/Choices/issues/969 which is about when clicking on the element itself (as opposed to the label). That situation does not open the native element picker.

To Reproduce Go to https://choices-js.github.io/Choices/ and scroll to the "Multiple select input". Using the first example, "Default" click on the "Default" label to reproduce. I reproduced this with iOS 26.3.1

Expected behavior The native element picker should open, but not the keyboard
