Indeed we should not!  I use LaTeX (beamer) to create slides which have
links I can click on during lectures.  I would hate having footnotes for
all of these...

However, I can see the validity of Lars's use case so it would be nice
to have an option for this.  My approach is to put the link in a
footnote directly and not in the text if it's a document I intend to
print...
