If your links are working ok, then you don't need to add the filename to the link to make it a full path. There is a bug in Sigil that meant if you chose to split your file into smaller pieces the links would break. That won't be a problem in the next release and it sounds like you won't be splitting your files soon anyway.

I don't know if ADE does or does not have a Back button, but if you really want to add reverse links to your footnotes:

First, it doesn't look like you copy/pasted your HTML code correctly since in your description your second line says href instead of id:

<a href="#fn1-01">[*1-01]</a>

And this is what I added at the start of the actual footnote:

<a href="#fn1-01">[*1-01]</a>

It probably looks like this

Source:

<a href="#fn1-01">[*1-01]</a>

Destination:

<a id="fn1-01">[*1-01]</a>

in which case what you need to do is add an ID to every source link, and an href from every destination ID - the ID is the name of the text you want to link to, and href tells the reader what ID to link to. They then become mirror images of each other:


Source:

<a id="text1-01" href="#fn1-01">[*1-01]</a>

Destination:

<a id="fn1-01" href="#text1-01">[*1-01]</a>

Of course you can only link your footnote back to one part of the text so you can't use it twice.
