> Eyal, could you provide a real life example.

So, I'll first say I don't believe that's really a valid request. It is
established in LibreOffice that footnotes are styled essentially via page
styles - spacing, area size, separator line; and the choice of which numbering
system to use is - at least partially - a matter of style.

Still, since you've asked - let's just flesh out the example in my opening
comment.

Suppose I write a report with some front-matter, e.g. an introduction, a main
part and appendices. Each of those may have some footnotes, but I may well
choose to have the main-part footnotes be numbered, with numbering not
resetting every page; while the introduction may also have a couple of
footnotes, which I specifically want _not_ to number, but rather indicate with
shapes like †‡◆✱ . At the moment - that's not possible.
