What I offered is a 100% reliable workaround to the issue caused by how you are trying to do footnotes. While Apple is about 50% for phones in USA they are 12% to 15% elsewhere. Here the main iPad users are schools due to Apple incentives.
On eBooks, Amazon has 90% of the worldwide market and next highest dedicated ereaders all only fully support epub2, only various amounts of epub3.
Most ebooks are read on phone apps and Apple Books has maybe less than 8% of that world wide.
So
1) What you are trying to do isn't best for the Apple Ecosystem.
2) It limits you to maybe 8% or less of people that buy ebooks.
I'm only suggesting how footnotes are managed (i.e. activated), the actual formatting can be anything compatible. Also never use a link ONLY in the superscript number. Link the entire source word as we gave up the high resolution stylus when Resistive Touch PDAs died. Almost all modern touch is very low resolution. I actually use a slightly larger viewing font size if doing a lot of annotation as it makes selection very much easier.
