Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some journals have links from the footnotes section to the authors or title blocks. At the moment these elements are rendered from the database rather than from the JATS which leads to the links on the footnote referencing an unexisting ID
Describe the solution you'd like
Render title/author metadata from JATS with XSLT so that we can include these JATS xref objects that would enable hyperlinks from the footnotes to the metadata and vice-versa

Research direction
Start by locating the XSLT templates that render JATS title and author metadata, along with the footnote xref handling. Test with a JATS document containing links from footnotes to metadata and back; done when the rendered metadata has matching IDs and both link directions work.
