Description
What type of issue is this?
Missing compatibility data
What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
For HTML's a and area elements there's data to show when implicit noopener was added. But the same is not true for SVGAElement.
What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?
Chromium (Chrome, Edge 79+, Opera, Samsung Internet), Firefox, Safari
What did you expect to see?
I expected to see data on whether Firefox supports this behaviour. (Chrome should also support this as of 135 but that data is entirely missing).
Safari despite supporting rel and relList on SVG doesn't seem to actually use the values for anything. So it currently doesn't support this.
Did you test this? If so, how?
No.

Research direction
Start with the svg.elements.a query and compare the missing entry with the existing HTML a and area compatibility data. Verify the reported Firefox, Chrome 135, and Safari behavior, then update the browser compatibility data to represent implicit rel="noopener" support for SVG a.
