Thanks for your interest to contribute to Org mode!

I am not sure if indirect buffer is the right approach for _previews_.
It is more common in Emacs to either use eldoc or tooltips.
You may use

as reference about eldoc.

This sounds like something we can extend `org-forward-element' and
`org-backward-element' with - it may not only jump to the next element,
but also jump to the next element of the same type. Jumping to next/previous
footnote might will useful as a separate command as well though, as a
complement to the existing `org-next-item', `org-next-link',
`org-next-block', etc.
"Footnote Editing Window" sounds like a duplicate of the existing C-c '
functionality (`org-edit-special').
"Customized Footnote Definition Jumping" does not sound too different
from editing window. May you elaborate why it is useful?
I am not sure if I understand what "Enhanced Footnote Reference
Searching" does from its description.
"Eeasier Footnote Deletion": How is it different from `org-footnote-delete'?
