Well, if you want a solution for Kindle, then you should have posted in the Kindle forum
(here we are in the epub forum for epub solutions). Anyway, bad news for you, Kindle doesn't handle svg images with text, that is, if you want a .kfx file. If you convert an epub like yours, Kindlegen (or KindlePreviewer) will built a .kf8 book, where you can't find "enhanced typesetting" and links inside svg images won't work
Currently, there is nothing (at least, I don't know, maybe Hitch can tell you something different) that works in .kfx to produce the effect you want. You can get that, but ONLY for .kf8 (forget .kf7, there nothing works and you have another source of problems) but with .kf8 you won't have "enhanced typesetting". Sorry, I would like to help you but the necessary .css is not handled by the .KFX format (so far)
You could use a transparent .gif with negative top margin over text but .KFX won't accept a transparent .gif; or to use text with negative top margins over a normal image (.jpg, .png), or a image as background of <body> but also .KFX will have issues to show the text or the image.
So that, your ONLY WAY (for .KFX) is to use an image with the text written on the image. And to build the link with this one (so a click in any part of it will trigger the text of the footnote). Watch the epub I attach.
