Can noopener and noreferrer attributes be used with the target attribute?

<a href="http:www.yahoo.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="tab_a" />link</a>
<a href="http:www.google.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="tab_a" />link</a>

When I have the rel attributes set, the target attribute is ignored and the links are always opened in a new window. is there a way to prevent this behavior? and have it ope in the targeted window?

Based on my testing and experience, the rel="noopener noreferrer" will disable the feature of opening a link in specific target window.

I was looking for the same functionality but could not achieve it without having to remove the rel.

Why you need rel="noopener noreferrer" attributes because present browsers doesn't consider noreferrer. Secondly Yes, I was using both with target="_blank" attribute with WP plugin External links. That was working for me, you can see this screenshot.
