Yes, there is <footnoteref>. But isn't it just some particular sort
of <xref> ? I can easily see in xref processing expectations

If the cross-referenced element is an Annotation, which is to be
rendered as a footnote, the Xref is probably to be rendered in the
same way the primary location of the footnote Annotation is.
