I’d like to provide a valid use case for showing how the fix could reduce time in finding necessary information.
Suppose you have text in your note with terms which you’d like to define using footprints for reference. Let’s say you have them around 50. Now you might want to search for some term in your footprint to quickly see what it means and you might want to see in which context it’s used as the term might have different definitions. So, navigating from the search result to a proper footnote item in View mode allows you navigate back and forth between the context and the definition easily.
