For me I feel like this would get pretty inconvenient. I don't wanna sound lazy, but clicking a link every time you want to read the footnote gets tedious fast. The example shown that doesn't use a footnote :

With footnotes: This has been rejected (rocks this was rejected because rocks are very hard. And we like easier stuff in scratch, so we prefer pillows. also because I don't like the color grey (made to look long because rejection notes are long) ) this means that this has been suggested before and rejected by the scratch team

feels incredibly exaggerated and pretty unrealistic, so it feels hard to see a point. I wouldn't say it clutters the post, because usually text in brackets is used to provide extra information about the topic, so it's still pretty important and I don't think it should be replaced with a link that's quite easy to look over.

That's the point, you dont have to read the footnotes, it's just additional information that is not as important. If I did this:

I like rocks, why? Because I eat them and they tasty snack (trust me, they tasty), if you don't believe me, try it out yourself, (it may be a chocking hazard)


the stuff in parenthesis isn't needed, but is still info that can be used.

I do support. This feature can be very helpful for adding citations, other links, or little notes.

Here’s a workaround

Result:

But it is not diagonal to the text if you do that.

I’m just giving a workaround, I didn’t say whether I support or not, I’m just giving something that can be done in the meanwhile.
Yeah, it doesn’t work very well because it doesn’t really float next to the text, but just something that can be done. But do you know any better way of doing it? /gen

Edit: you can use superscript digits and () instead of normal ones and remove the small tags.
⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹
⁽ ⁾

example[url=example.com]⁽¹⁾[/url][/quote]

Result:
example⁽¹⁾

I find this a great workaround, if I'm being honest.
