Right: With C-c.

And maybe there could work directly commands like "org-footnote-action", 
being unneeded to create new commands like "org-note-action" with almost 
the same functionality.

Thanks, I save it.

If there would be more than one reference, a behavior like that of footnotes would be appropriate?

The purpose of the @978-84-... part:
@978-84-362-7195-9 would work like the ID for internal links: [[id:978-84-362-7195-9]]. That would allow jumping to the correct heading from any file.
I am not a programmer, so the syntax I am sure could be more solid.  Example:


** Reference in file A
:PROPERTIES:
:ID:       978-84-362-7195-9
:END:
...
A “comment line” starts with a hash character (#) [n:102@978-84-362-7195-9] and either a whitespace character or the immediate end of the line.
...


** Notes in file B
[[id:978-84-362-7195-9]]: Link to heading in file A

[n:102@978-84-362-7195-9]: Link to an exact point in file A. Where the point is defined by the LABEL 102, and the file can be find thanks to the ID 978-84-362-7195-9
