Description
It would be useful if hyperref supported \footnotemark and \footnotetext in an integrated way. In various situations (particularly annotating entries in tables), it is necessary to use \footnotemark and \footnotetext. But hyperref, despite seemingly containing code to support these two commands, does not generate hyperlink references for them as it does for \footnote.
(There are many Stack Exchange questions about this providing various workarounds, but they all have various deficiencies and inconveniences.)
