I'm fairly sure that the "back" button on the K2 didn't work efficiently for that purpose--I have some vague recollection--and yes, I'm reaching, here--from about 5 years ago that there was some problem that we had to deal with about the back button not working for something along these lines, or not correctly. I don't actually recall the Guidelines ever saying anything about not using a link-back, but I only have copies back into 2013 or something like that. To be honest...I don't think I remember the professional Publishing Guidelines ever even discussing
footnotes, so obviously I'm senile now. I'll defer to your expertise about that.
FWIW, we've been doing two-way footnotes since the beginning. {shrug}. Always seemed the safest route.
