Beeing concisely is not my strength, but I will try.

- Set general style for foot/endnote
I want to change multiple values for foot/endnotes at once to be able to
quickly change the look of foot/endnotes. You can do this by hand and one by
one. Nothing would hinder you. Though it would be faster and much easier if you
could collect a group of changes into a style.

- Set style for in-text footnote link
I want to have all in-text foot/endnote links look the same to achieve a
consistent look throughout the entire document without having to change every
in-text foot/endnote myself. I do not fail to do so, but I have to do every
single foot/endnote by hand. If you have a few dozen in-text foot/endnotes and
want to change the style you have to spend some time to change their style.
This idea exists as "Before" and "After" but only for out-of-text foot/endnotes
at the very end.

- Same foot-/endnote can be used multiple times
I want to use the same out-of-text foot/endnote (eg. a certain book) multiple
times without having the exact same foot/endnote several times in the list at
the end (eg. endnote 1 would be the same as 3 and 5 even it's the same book). I
fail because LO will create a new foot/endnote even when you copy the in-text
foot/endnote link. An out-of-text foot/endnote at the end can only link to one
in-text foot/endnote. (Unlike eg. Wikipedia does it)

- Set anchorpoint for endnote
I want to do place all my endnotes in a specific location like I can place an
image anywhere I want (not so much the footnotes since they will be on the same
page as the in-text note anyway). I want to be able to place the endnotes
exactly where I want to have them in my document (eg. under a dedicated
headline). I fail because the endnotes are always placed on the last new-page
by default so I can not even group them under a headline. My current workaround
is to group the entire document into a Section and place the endnotes at the
very end of said section.

- Preview for style buttons
I want to know what certain options are supposed to change (eg. paragraph,
page, text area, endnote area) without reading the full documentation to know
which look I would change with the option. Or to see which option I would have
to edit to get the result I aim for. Right now I fail because even the english
documentation is not something that explains it well enough for me (could be
improved). And wild changes in the options seems to not have any effect
sometimes (I have no idea if the function is broken or if I try to change
something that does not apply to my foot/endnotes).

REPLY:
- per-footnote varying style
That's not what I'm looking for. I want all to look the same and control their
look in the foot/endnote options menu. I want to change the look of all
footnotes at once without having to edit every in-text foot/endnote.
