Thanks a lot Terry.

Interesting approach. What I had in mind was something slightly different. 
Instead of having a child node for each footnote, like you did in your 
example (A, B, C, 1, 2, 3,...) I was considering having only two children 
nodes called Numbers and Letters, and then storing all the footnotes within 
one of the two.
I am now wondering which approach makes more sense, or which is easier to 
manage. But probably there is not much difference.

Anyway, a crucial issue for me is how easy it would be to manage the 
footnotes. Are footnote links synchronized automatically between their two 
places? For instance, if I delete the child note, would its reference also 
be deleted in the main text, and viceversa?
Also, can I insert a new footnote, for instance between A and B, and expect 
the system to automatically update the names of all the following nodes?
Yet another question (but there are many others): can I have two different 
keybindings for creating automatically, from the main text, the two 
different types of child notes? Ideally, while editing the main text, I 
would simply use the relevant key shortcut which will: (a) create the 
footnote link in the main text (b) create the corresponding footnote node 
and (c) shift the focus to that newly created footnote node, ready for 
input.

I hope I am not asking too much. Also, are the above features yet to be 
implemented (programmed), or are these available features already?

You see, all these practical aspects are quite important, because I am not 
a real programmer. I can tinker a bit, but upto a certain point. Ease of 
use is important for me.

Thanks again for your help.
