Tooltips on footnote numbers just like footnote reference ?

[UltraInstinct05]

Currently, footnote numbers don't have a tooltip https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/reference/footnotes/#adding-footnote-references when hovered over. Maybe it could say Jump to footnote <num>

But footnote references do have tooltips when hovered.

Does it make sense to have tool tips on footnote numbers for consistency sake ?

Thanks for suggesting. Footnotes are rendered by the footnotes extension, which is an upstream dependency of ours. If footnotes would include a title, tooltips would work instantly. Thus, it might be worth raising this over at Python Markdown.

Hi Martin, sorry to re-open this, but on the Mkdocs Material documentation itself, the footnote is shown as tooltip when hovering the footnote. This does not use title attributes as far as I can see. Is this an Insiders-functionality, or am I missing a configuration option? Thanks a lot!

Yes, it is an Insiders feature that we released in January and called footnote tooltips ☺️ Sponsors can enable it with:
