All links in "header" have _blank as target and "rel=noopener noreferrer" attributes, why?

We are using the Intercom helpcenter and in the “header” section of the helpcenter, we added a link to a place where customers can login. Aim is that after a succesful login, the visitor creates conversations in the messenger as authenticated (JWT) users.

Our problem now is that all the links in the helpcenter have:

  • Target attribute with value “_blank”
  • And rel attributes with value “noopener noreferrer”

Is there a way to change this? Reason: I want to use the referer as a callback redirect url after succesful login. By instructing the browser not to add the referer, I cannot do this.
