--- Comment #1 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guillou at libreoffice.org> ---
Although automating this process makes perfect sense to me, it is quite
advanced and I could not find an earlier report requesting it.

See for example the use of Ibid.[1]:

> Ibid. may also be used in the Chicago (name-date) system for in-text
> references where there has been a close previous citation from the same
> source material. The previous reference should be immediately
> visible, e.g. within the same paragraph or page.

"Ibid." could be the displayed text for "cross-reference is directly above, on
the same page", whereas "see footnote x" would be the alternative.

Here's a question related to creating such conditional fields:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/575371/using-macros-or-cross-references-for-the-condition-of-conditional-text-in-libreo
I could not find a way to create something of the sort.

UX/design team, do you think creating this kind of custom, conditional/mixed
field should be made easier?

In practice, this would be a mix between "Above/Below" (for the relative
position) and "Referenced text" (for the footnote number).
