I have a book in Epub3 and am reviewing it in the Kindle Previewer. Footnotes are working fine as popups, Except ...

The Previewer (and hence I think Kindle) refuses to render a clickable link in a footnote. This seems odd since the idea of having a footnote with a link in it seems quite natural and effective. But it's looking like Kindle footnotes are severely constrained in what they can contain, and that includes formatting (?) and hyperlinks. Am I missing something?

I'd like to, for example, use footnotes a pop-ups for bibliographic citations. But I can't see how to do that.
