--- Comment #7 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at user-prompt.com> ---
Some time ago I faced the problem as well and solved it with fake footnotes.
But cross-referencing is in fact the best solution. When pasting a footnote you
could internally insert the reference and superscript the text. Makes sense for
usability POV because the normal incrementing is not broken in this way.
But in my 4.3 installation this reference is not updated if I add another
footnote before the referenced (e.g."He heard quiet steps1 behind him2. That
didn't bode1 well." The last 1 is a (working) link to footnote 2). Update
fields (F9) does not help, page preview is the same.
And when I remove the footnote its reference needs to be cleared. Otherwise I
get an "Error: Reference source not found". So putting all together I would say
we need a new type of reference (or special treatment for refs to footnotes).
