Can you provide an example in the basic implementing HTML of what you're talking about? I just don't get the relevance of the toolbar display when (I thought) we're talking generic footnotes in standard etext. I'd like a description of HOW this works (whatever it is) rather than a picture of a UI in which maybe it's been implemented. Thanks.
If I have a single footnote references from multiple locations, the back button allows me to return to the location of the link that referenced the footnote (in theory...).

As for examples, exercise your Google-fu. The topic has been discussed to death on MobileRead on several occasions. See Multiple references to the same footnote from a decade back or a slightly more recent Cross References: How to Handle the Backlinks of Multiple Links to One Anchor? .
