First and foremost, mixing links and footnotes would be a maintenance burden. The link-target association does just that, and I think it is sufficient. Also, Org can renumber automatically footnotes, so it should also check every link in the buffer to possibly update it. I think it's a false good idea. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou 0x80A93738
