Use case or problem
Footnotes are not included in copy-cut-paste actions or “extract from selection” actions, which means they get abandoned and left behind fairly often. This means working with footnotes can be quite cumbersome, especially when you need your content to remain mobile in case of major rearrangements. If this is added it will dramatically simplify extraction, merging, cutting, and copying actions that include content with footnotes which will remove a huge barrier to including footnotes as part of regular workflows. This applies especially to academic writing, TTRPGs, and any other form of notes that make use of footnotes, citations, and endnotes (e.g. Wiki articles).
Proposed solution
When you copy text with a footnote link, it copies the footnote too. On paste, it offers to paste the footnote and can remember your choice or ask every time. When you cut text with a footnote, it offers to cut the footnote and likewise offers to remember your decision.
Current workaround
Only use in-line footnotes so that they are including when cutting or copying. This does not work for citations that are used multiple times, meaning academic or reference heavy writing does not work for this.
