Add hyperlinks to footnotes

The script adds hyperlinks to footnotes so that they can be navigated in the exported PDF file. When you export to PDF, don't forget to enable hyperlinks in the PDF export window.

Use

The script has no interface. Open the document that contains the footnotes to be hyperlinked and run the script.

The safest way to use the script is to save the document before running the script, export the document, then discard it. However, you can leave the created hyperlinks in the document and run the script later, but not storing the hyperlinks is preferred.
