Comment:

 westi, I'm not sure why you closed this - the core issue remains - the rel
 field is not editable and is instead readonly, only modifiable by the pre-
 selected radio buttons and checkboxes.

 Even the [http://codex.wordpress.org/Links_Manager#Adding_Links Links
 Manager Codex page] suggests the rel field is accepting arbitrary values,
 like nofollow, while in reality it's not:

 > rel - Specifies the rel attribute that will be put onto the link's a tag
 when displayed on the screen. Some possible values are nofollow (if you
 don't want search engines to follow the link), author, and smart. Multiple
 rel keywords should be separated with spaces.

 It is quite common to want to add a nofollow attribute, or other custom
 rels to links, and Wordpress should allow it (as it says it does in its
 own documentation).
