Just to clarify, it sounds like you are asking about footnote support. In the Kobo devices, "annotation" usually refer to the user marking text and optionally adding a note. This is stored and visible in a list. Tapping on the annotation in the list takes you to it in the book.

Footnote support is there in all versions of the firmware that you could see on a Touch. The problem is that when then link to the footnote is a superscript, the link is usually to small and hard to tap. If you increase the font size and make the link larger, it works perfectly.

If you are reading kepubs, the link area is larger and more easily tapped. Plus it shows the footnote in a popup rather than navigating away from the page. You can still go to the fill note if it is to large for the popup.
