Description

We have in our code:

<a rel="noopener" referrerPolicy="no-referrer" target="_blank" href={fooURL}>foo</a>

But react/jsx-no-target-blank is complaining about it with:

 Using target="_blank" without rel="noopener noreferrer" is a security risk: see https://mathiasbynens.github.io/rel-noopener  react/jsx-no-target-blank

Isn't it the same to have rel="noopener" and referrerPolicy="no-referrer" as having rel="noopener noreferrer"?

eslint-plugin-react@7.14.3

Inspect the rule implementation for react/jsx no target blank and add a condition to skip the warning when referrerPolicy is set to 'no referrer'.
