html - Opening same window while using noreferrer

Question

Without noreferrer the target opens the link in the same tab if it has already opened.

<a target="google" href="https://www.google.com" rel="noreferrer">Open</a>

While setting rel="noreferrer" attribute on <a> as above will always open new tab.

Is there any way to use same tab(but not current) with noreferrer everytime link clicked?

Answer 1

Opening link in a new window not related to rel="noreferrer" attribute. It related to target attribute. Use this attribute with _self value.

<a target="_self" href="https://www.google.com" rel="noreferrer">Open</a>

Note: the target value is _self as default. You can just remove it.
