The main reason I don't generally inline footnotes is that I don't want to *see* them. Basically, footnotes are for readers that are not my primary audience; sometimes footnotes are only for me and I keep them only for drafting. Either way, they are noise in the paragraph. Same thing, when I take notes and want to see the main points at a glance while keeping reflections out of the way. I thought about using custom links for footnotes (which would allow me to hide the definition), but I'm not sure that would work the same way. Can I have other (custom) links inside the link path (or inside an inline footnote defintion)? Thanks for the idea, I have to investigate. Still, the original questions stands. Maybe `org-copy-subtree' and `org-paste-subtree' could be adapted? Problem is, these functions use kill-region internally, and I see no easy way to add the footnote information. -- Florian Beck
