That is only a problem for "back to text" links, not for "go to note" links. And it's only a problem if the reading application does not have a "back to previous location" function (such applications should be forbidden). I've worked around this problem by providing multiple "back to ..." links in the note. (By the way, I've also done the equivalent in a paper book, providing back references for citations, e.g. "[cited in pages x, y and z]".)

It seems to me, Jellby
mon sweetie--and my memory could be playing tricks on me--but it
seems to me that at one point, due to a very difficult customer, who also wanted what were effectively many-to-one links and backlinks, that we (my firm) tried something like the divs, above.
It also
seems to me that (like some other things in Previewer) what appeared to work, in KP3, didn't work when the book was
actually published. I know that there were issues with the older devices.
But, honestly...that's thousands of books ago and
I simply don't remember. Now, we just tell clients that many-to-one requests don't work that great, and that numbering the "back" options, or identifying them some other way "back to 'page' 34," "back to 'page' 79" and so on, are just too bloody clunky. (Like glossaries, where the author wants every instance of term X linked to the glossary definition for it. Try dealing with "back" links THEN.)
If it works for the poster, (shrug)...who has shown that he's not
really interested in discussing this--it's his book. He's not a pro who's making books that way for other people.
