There was a problem hiding this comment.
So it does this at runtime? Is there a way to do this at build time?

What changed?
Adds a client module to remove
noreferrerfor external links.Why a client module rather than another solution:
@docusaurus/Linkisn't swizzleable.The closest is to swizzle
MDXComponents/Afor external links within markdown pages, and then separately handle external links in the footer (swizzleFooter/LinkItem) and custom React components.Why?
To help with data analysis, and to let external sites know we're driving traffic for them.
