I know this has been discussed before, but just want to raise the issue again. We NEEEEEEEED this functionality!

Allow adding notes and highlights in footnotes | Faithlife
Agreed. This is very disappointing.
The realism I posted in a similar thread:
If you observe the search carefully you will see why highlighting footnotes has not yet happened. Why don't the proximity operators work in footnotes? Because a footnote is a single address. To highlight you need either the begin and end addresses or you need a beginning address and a length. Ergo, highlighting footnotes is not a simple extension of the current function. Faithlife knows this is a serious limitation but the cost to remedy it is high. What I suspect will happen is that the technology of the hardware and software will change sufficiently that it becomes necessary/cost effective to have a major rewrite of the software to ditch legacy structures that hold it back. When that happens, we will get footnote behaving like other text.
Ditto! This is both disappointing and frustrating.
