Description
Originally by dngvh
The Link component should provide a way to set the rel attribute. We are trying to following the advice of this following article to plug vulnerability of target=_blank on links: https://medium.com/@jitbit/target-blank-the-most-underestimated-vulnerability-ever-96e328301f4c#.a2la687av which requires setting the rel attribute on the hrefas follows
rel="noopener noreferrer"
However, there is no way to do so. The Link component should allow setting of this property, or it should automatically set it.
