    you need to add
    rel="nofollow"
    to the "a" tag

    for example:

    Absolutely correct - rel="nofollow" will make any link nofollow.
    And will rel="dofollow" change a nofollow link to a dofollow?

    The absence of "nofollow" tag makes the link dofollow.

    Nope. All links in WordPress are nofollow by default. So I wonder if adding a rel="dofollow" to a link will make it dofollow.
    Also I know that there's a plugin for WP which makes all links dofollow. But I'm just curious if rel="dofollow" works.

    Then add
    target="blank"
    It will make your link opening in new tab.
