Maybe.

"Ibid." is short for "ibidem", which is Latin for "in the same place" 
- or "there again". So that works perfectly well if the footnote is a 
citation, but not if it is some elaboration or explanation of the 
footnoted text. It doesn't mean "ditto".

This seems to me to be a use of ibid.

a link from document to footnote is no problem. Set cursor where the 
number of the footnote should appear. Go to menu Insert > 
Cross-Reference. In section 'Type' choose 'Footnotes'. Then select the 
footnote in section 'Selection'. Then choose 'Reference' in section 
'Insert reference to'. Click 'Insert' and 'Close'.


The reference is inserted as normal text. To give it the same 
appearance than the others, mark it, then open the character styles in 
the side bar and double-click the style 'Footnote Anchor' to assign it.


The link from footnote to text can of cause only go that place, where 
the footnote was originally inserted.


Kind regards
Regina

Don't think it would be possible, because you could also click on the
footnote and get a reference back to the origin of this note. And this
will only work with different footnotes for every reference.
