Footnote Numbers not Copying Over when Selected

Steps to reproduce

Make a footnote using any method

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes

Expected result

I expect that when I select the text to copy to another program, the numbering for the footnotes at the bottom of the page (1, 2, 3 etc) will get copied with the footnotes.

For example I would expect this to be copied:

Sentence[1]

Footnotes:

[1]: Sentence or link explaining the reference

Actual result

The numbering does not get copied with the footnotes.

This essentially tells me that the footnotes only really exist fully in Obsidian and arent compatible anywhere else. This goes against the idea of Obsidian not locking you in IMO.
