Allow customization of rel attribute on links in Writer field

All of the links authored in a Writer field have their rel attribute set to “noopener noreferrer nofollow”. This is a safe default, but it has negative implications for SEO of internal links.

I see where this attribute is being applied, and it seems like it would be fairly easy to include a text field for the rel attribute in the popup where you otherwise configure the links in Writer, but I don’t actually know Vue.

There’s also some discussion of this issue, and a hacky workaround, on the forum.

I agree, we really need this feature for SEO purpose. Please add an option for us to chose if we want to add the nofollow rel attribute.

Is this still relevant now that the default is just noopener noreferrer (and soon actually just noreferrer)? https://github.com/getkirby/kirby/blob/main/panel/src/components/Forms/Writer/Marks/Link.js#L103

Hello Nico, To my point of view, yes, it’s still relevant to choose whether we want to add (or not) noopener and/or noreferrer and/or nofollow. Each one has a different purpose and I would like to be able to decide on each link what to do.

+1. Currently, with the default options you can’t really optimize a website for SEO because of the lack of rel attributes possibility.
Plugging in to the link dialog is not simple either.
