a.click() is definitely not a no-op when not in a document, at least in
WebKit. I've used this in place of window.open, to use rel=noreferrer (

).
<script>var a = document.createElement("a"); a.href = "http://google.com";
a.click();</script>
(This seems to not work in Firefox. This code was iOS-specific--code
running inside an app--so testing in FF wasn't an issue at the time.)
