How to automate the HTML links for footnotes - endnotes

Is Calibre able to automate the HTML links for footnotes - endnotes (back and forth) ?

I mean ... :

Into the text, links to the footnotes I place manually with such a tag :
<a id="note-001"><sup>[1]</sup></a>

In a single "notes" file, all endnotes are placed manually with such a tag :
<a id="ret-001">1.</a> blahblah

At this point I create the HTML links one by one with the Calibre built-in tool. It works fine.

Uh ! it's a bit fastidious : 250 go-links and 250 back-links.

I don't see a way to automate the links such as the Table of Matters. Calibres owns so many features, I may do an useless work.

I did a convert test epub to epub, the HTML link is not created. Same test for table of content, except that a button exists to do the job from <h1> tag.

Ladies, Gents, I would greatly appreciate any input from those who have done this already.
Calibre has so many hidden killer features. I want to be sure I have to do this work manually with the "chain plus " icon.

TIA, best regards
