Footnotes references don't appear to live link?

What I’m trying to do

Create footnotes and references, similar to what a quick click on Google Docs did, but I’m trialling Obsidian.

Things I have tried

I read the Obsidian guide (sorry I can’t post links) for Footnotes and entered the following:

Footnotes (references)

Open square bracket → Caret → number → close square bracket → colon → space.
or plugin
this is a footnote [1]
this is a 2nd footnote [2]
1: link removed by me
2: link removed by me

I viewed the page in read and edit mode, however the 1 and 2 don’t seem to link to the full footnote/reference?

I read some other webpages, but can’t link them.

The footnote in reference should be [^1]^[1] and [^2]^[2]. The footnote information at the bottom should be [^1]: and your information [^2]: other information

---

1. and your information ↩︎

2. other information ↩︎

This doesn’t seem very clear. In your note where you want the footnote to be referenced you’ll put [^1] and [^2] and then at the bottom of your note you’ll put:
[^1]: contents of footnote here
[^2]: other footnote contents here
