Short version of it is, gorhill actually willingly gave the project away to a contributor who later started to ask for donations. This was not appreciated (hence the very explicit "no donations" policy gorhill now has) and caused a bit of drama and gorhill started developing his own version again. This part I didn't know, but apparently he's not that bitter about it as the guy who took over the project is quite young. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/130#issuecomment-96...

> I don't think it's possible with filters
We constantly create filters for detection issues[1]. Filter list maintainers have a lot of experience on how to work around such issues, with solutions that are often not obvious to people with less familiar with filtering capabilities and syntax.

It is in the official extension repository [1]. I had to put it there because of how difficult/impossible it is to run a local extensions. But it's definitely not designed for general use. I'll be glad to guide you if the tiny amount of help I've included isn't enough.
The source [2] is available too.
The actual idea of the extension is "Style stuff using regular expressions". So you specify a regex; what to search, attributes and/or text (text can cause a lot of undesired results so I don't use it much); and css styles to add to the elements containing matches. I only really use it to apply visibility: hidden to any element with an attribute matching one big regex that's basically just a bunch of domains regex |'d together. The example in the options UI is what I'm still using years later, I've just added more domains.
I originally started with just taking out tags but that idea was quickly shot down. Lots of links aren't tags. Sometimes the domain being linked to is buried in some JS in a onX event attribute, or some data-* attr that the UI framework uses and a bunch of other oddities. So the code searches all attrs. It's not super efficient but I've never noticed it causing a slow down.
Another problem is, often, the original request doesn't even contain the links, they're loaded after. So it uses a MutationObserver and looks at the new elements for matches.
