Setting to make footnotes (and links) tappable by default

[AYM958]

Before switching to Kobalt, I mainly used the stock Kobo reader, and the switch has been nearly seamless. The one thing that regularly interrupts my reading is how footnotes work.

On stock Kobo, you tap a footnote and a popup appears. In Kobalt, I have to long press the footnote, choose "Follow link", and only then does the popup show. The alternative is to tap the center of the page -> select "Highlight links" or tap the link indicator (if enabled), and then tap the footnote. On pages with several footnotes, I have to repeat this every time, and the extra steps detract from the reading experience.

Suggestion: Add a setting that makes footnotes tappable by default. The styling doesn't need to be prominent, since that could be distracting. An underline and greyed-out text, like stock Kobo does natively, would be enough.

Since stock Kobo does the same for regular links, this could be a dropdown with options like:

• Off (current behavior)
• Footnotes only
• Footnotes and links

Thanks for all your work on Kobalt!
