Ability to reference same footnote multiple times

[StephanMeijer]

In many standards, such as several¹ Markdown¹ flavors¹ and OOXML it is possible to reference the same footnote multiple times.

I would like to be able to do this also within Tiptap using your extension.

• There could be a command created to reference an existing footnote.²
• Creating an HTML id attribute on the reference number would no longer be valid, as multiple references can have the same number.³

OSS-3 Ability to reference same footnote multiple times

GitHub, for example, uses an internal counter to count how many times a specific footnote has been referenced to, to determine the identifier of the reference.

Love it (and lol at using the issue itself as an example.) Let me get a draft PR up early this week to show you a possible direction.
