Hyperlinked footnote references in reports

Post by Gary_G » 10 Apr 2023 15:42

Writing programs that one might use for producing a final report often can recognize hyperlinked references to footnotes. Scrivener is an example of one such program. It is used by quite a few people to write their family stories based on the output from a genealogical program.

Having already included "Heading" format tags, Family Historian is halfway to a perfect pairing with such a program. Adding hyperlinked references to footnotes would make Family Historian the "go to" program for managing ones front-end research, because there would be a clear path for final processing and publish of the FH output reports into a variety of formats.

This would be a useful feature to have.
