It's literally the first book I checked that includes the second chapter in the preview - chosen basically at random. The relevant couple of lines with the first note cue in Chapter 2 appear below. As you'll see, the note is numbered 1 - i.e. not numbered continuously with Chapter 1 - and only the note cue itself is formatted as a link, not any of the text that precedes it.

This remains absolutely the standard throughout professional nonfiction publishing - at least for now!
That remains the standard for PAPER BOOKS! It does not work well on eBooks. The tap zone is TOO SMALL! What I do is [01] in the same body text size for the tap zone and it works. Doing 1 as a superscript doesn't work. Also, doing it my way means you can have the line height smaller without throwing off the line spacing. Kindles use a line space that's too large.
