footnotes working with this plugin? E.g. when doing :ObsidianFollowLink it should go to footnote.

I am going to start looking at implementing this, if anyone wants to help let me know.

Research direction

Start at the :ObsidianFollowLink command and trace how the plugin identifies and follows links. Compare that behavior with the footnote format described in the linked Obsidian article. Done means invoking :ObsidianFollowLink on a footnote takes the user to the corresponding footnote target.
