Mastodon verification HTML

Is there a way to add Mastodon verification code to the header or footer of our website?
The specifications for verifying yourself as the owner of a website can be found within the Mastodon profile settings. They read:
Verification
You can verify yourself as the owner of the links in your profile metadata. For that, the linked website must contain a link back to your Mastodon profile. The link back must have a rel=”me” attribute. The text content of the link does not matter.Here is a generic example:

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

SUGGESTION: Include rel=”me” in links in Social Icons block.
I verified my blog by using an html block in my sidebar widgets. I think it would be easier for most people though if WordPress rendered a rel=”me” attribute in the links of its Social Icons block.
