Thank you for your answer.
If sw/source/core/layout/ code doesn't handle footnote anchors in Writer frames, is it 
because nobody wrote the code or because there is some impossibility to do that ?

For example, using Zotero to insert a bibliography citation as footnote in a frame, Zotero 
warns that this citation will be managed as if it was an endnote. So it seems there is 
some specific difficulty to manage footnote anchors in a Writer frame.

Best regards.
