# Feature: #99699 - Enable rel attribute for link fields outside of the RTE {#feature-99699-1772582400}

See [forge#99699](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/99699)

## Description {#description}

TCA type `link` fields now support editing and persisting the
`rel` attribute in the normal link browser.

When `appearance.allowedOptions` contains `rel`, the link browser
renders a dedicated relationship input field for non-RTE link fields,
for example `tt_content.header_link`.

The TypoLink codec supports an optional sixth TypoLink segment for
`rel`, and frontend TypoLink rendering now applies this value to
generated anchor tags.

## Impact {#impact}

Integrators can now use `rel` consistently in link browser dialogs for
both RTE and non-RTE link fields.

Existing TypoLink values without `rel` remain unchanged and continue to
work as before.
