We have a design for footnotes showing them inline rather than in popovers. You can see an example at https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2023.html. When footnotes are shown inline, it makes more sense to leave the footnote open when clicking elsewhere on the page. We used to hack in support to Bigfoot and Littlefoot 3.4 to not close the footnote, but I recently updated the site to use the latest Littlefoot 4.0 (with the code in this PR) and wanted to check your interest in having an option for it. What do you think? If you'd like, I could add some documentation.
Thanks for your work!
