The cross-reference tool can do this.

  1. Fisrt, Insert the cursor where you want the reference to be.
  2. In the cross-referene panel click the button to ‘create new cross-reference’.
  3. Make sure the Link To: field is set to Paragraph.
  4. In the destination section select the paragraph style of the note that you want referenced; Select the note in the box to the right.
  5. Select Page Number in the Format: field. By default this will show a reference to your page as ‘Page 20’. You can edit this as you’d like by clicking on the pencil button to the right of the Format: field. (Just make sure you don’t delete any part of the ‘<pagenum />’.)
  6. Click okay and your cross-reference will be set.

If the page that the note is on moves you will need to click the ‘Update cross-references’ button in the cross-reference panel and it will update the page number in the reference.
