Hey, it's more technical questions for you!

On Wikipedia, users have the ability to distinguish between references and footnotes when placing in-line citations, and the article will tell the difference and display the citation in the corresponding section at the bottom of the article. You can see this in effect at the majority of popular articles (Pink Floyd's article is a prime example). My question is whether or not this is a feature that could be implemented here. I know we've only started to get users in the habit of using references in articles, but I know from past experience that an option to distinguish between a source, and a more detailed and/or out-of universe explanation of something in the article, would be nice to have on hand should the need arise.

Then again, this may already be a thing, and I just don't know.
