How to add custom/extra attributes to Mediawiki links?

I'm creating template on a personal wiki and I want some of the links to have custom attributes (e.g. rel, class, etc.).

Using HTML Syntax

I tried to put it as HTML code, but it's then escaped:

<a href="#{{{atelier-id|ex:atelier-id}}}" class="pilcrow">¶</a>
<a href="{{{auteur_url|ex:giroll.org/}}}" rel="author">{{{auteur|ex:auteur}}}</a>

Using Wiki Syntax
