Multiple references to the same footnote

Making Footnotes "HOT" in both directions (from reference to footnote and from footnote back to the reference) makes things simple for the reader, especially those who have no "BACK" selection.

Things get more complicated when a footnote is referenced from multiple points. A return must be provided for each reference.

How do you handle this little problem?

So far I have been ensuring that each reference is unique (e.g. [1A], [1B]. etc.) and providing a return for each in the footnote. However. this requires the reader to remember which reference he/she clicked.

Is there some method to highlight the desired return? Or is there a method that makes the footnote aware of what reference was used?

I'm looking for ideas and know that one of you gurus has a solution.
