Use case or problem

Long legal notes are full of footnotes. In live preview I have to jump to the bottom to read one.

Proposed solution

Hovering a footnote marker shows its text, like internal link previews do.

Quick poll so we can see how people use footnotes:

Yes — I'd use this every day.

Could be a plugin in the meantime. Might have a look this weekend.

Same here — following this thread.
