Ok, so the epub3 markup isn't used by most apps, but this can definitely be done with Amazon books, and I thought I had seen it in kepubs as well. (I could be wrong about the kepubs--the last few books I've read with footnotes have been on my Voyage)
Goroke, if you're interested in learning how to create footnotes that "pop up" in Kindle books, there is a whole thread devoted to that: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=249033

edit to add: I just double-checked on my kobo, and kepubs do this as well. I'm not sure if it's something that is added automatically when the conversion is done or not--the book I checked was originally a Kf8 file from Amazon that had the pop-up footnotes already.
