Normally most outgoing links that are meant to be private are bounced through a redirection that results in the referrer being a generic Google redirection page. That's probably the solution that was applied here.

- dlgeek 12y agoLooks like it only applies to a "Preview" feature, so I imagine they're already parsing the contents to render the preview and are either adding a redirect or a no-follow attribute. Native-native docs wouldn't have a referrer because they wouldn't be rendered by the browser, so links would be a direct hop.
