Add and sponsored to the button link

[alessandrolioce]

The Yoast SEO plugin adds to the Gutenberg block editor the ability to indicate links within paragraphs as nofollow or sponsored. It would be a good idea to add this possibility also to the default "Button" block so that you can indicate the value of the rel attribute as or sponsored for this link as well.

Technical info

• WordPress version: 5.5.1
• Yoast SEO version: 14.9

• If relevant, which editor is affected (or editors):

• Classic Editor
• Gutenberg
• Classic Editor plugin

When we consider this, we might also look at potentially adding the functionality to other core blocks where a link can be added.

We've had a look in our development team but unfortunately the code adding this functionality is old and quite complex, and rebuilds the core/link block instead of extending it -- that might have been a good solution at the time, but doesn't allow for proper modularization currently.

We will return to this feature request at a later point, for anyone taking a look then or in the meantime, the relevant code lives in packages/js/src/inline-links.
