As I said in my main message, I know that it can be done manually with each
in-text citation, but an article can contain hundreds of citations. The idea is
to make it happen automatically.

As for evidence, you only have to go to high impact scientific journals to see
the vast use of super-index citation:

The Lancet
(https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanres/article/PIIS2213-2600(21)00511-7/fulltext)

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)

British Medical Journal (BMJ) (https://www.bmj.com/content/387/bmj-2024-081318)

New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM)
