## Unreleased

### Bug Fixes
- `Tooltip`: Ensure tooltips do not capture pointer events, allowing clicks to pass through to underlying elements ([#77415](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/77415)).

### Breaking Changes

- `ExternalLink`: No longer adds `noreferrer` to the `rel` attribute. `noopener` is still applied. Consumers relying on the previous behavior should pass `rel="noopener noreferrer"` explicitly ([#26968](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/26968)).

Could this be moved to packages/components/src/tooltip/style.scss ?

New behavior (making tooltips click-through) isn’t currently covered by unit tests. Since this change is implemented via Ariakit props + pointerEvents: 'none', please add a Tooltip test that asserts the rendered tooltip wrapper (or tooltip element, depending on Ariakit’s DOM structure) has pointer-events: none (or otherwise verifies clicks aren’t intercepted) to prevent regressions.

I'm afraid we won't be able to test this in unit tests with the current jsdom-based setup
