Adds a bit of bloat to the footnote section, for sure, but handles the situation of the device/software having no back button.

Hi:
Indeed--I'd considered this sort of idea. Create a bunch of duplicate landing points that are
effectively invisible, but that work. For this particular project, however, they are actual large sections of the book. e.g., "See Resources/Veterinarians," with 100 listings, and the like. It wouldn't be a trivial amount of repetitive content--and out of curiosity, how are you then "hiding it" from those paging through? Are you assuming that folks won't read the footnotes sequentially, or? Where are you putting them that's hidden from the casual thumber?
(I'm one of
those. Yes, it's true, I confess--I tend to read footnotes by themselves! The Horror, I know, but...)
