Updated gist to support "noopener noreferrer". See https://medium.com/@jitbit/target-blank-the-most-underestimated-vulnerability-ever-96e328301f4c for details.
Assuming I can add "nofollow" to the rel attribute as well. Could you give me an example script on how to add an exception, for when the A tag has class=trusted? Where only the target attribute is set and the rel attribute is left empty. Many thanks and happy new year!

Nice gist, @wpscholar. I wrote a jQuery plugin for this that includes several options for customizing the way external links and files are handled.
