So I’m left to manually link them up?

Have you considered using something like Pandoc’s method of marking them up? Footnotes are a fairly common part of scanned pages, and markdown that doesn’t indicate that a footnote is a footnote can be fairly incomprehensible.

I am lazily posting this all over the thread, but do check out MyST Markdown too! https://mystmd.org. We handle footnotes as a structured object.
