I disagree. Interactive commands are not expected to break current
narrowing (try, e.g., C-c C-n).

We might however ask the user if he wants to widen in order to reach
footnote definition, or display said definition in the echo area if he
doesn't, and maybe introduce a variable to always do one of these.

I suggest to stay away from this kind of "smart" behaviour. 

Outside of the most trivial case (i.e., jump back and forth between the
definition and one of its references) it sounds like it would quickly
get in the way.
