Bookdown have many cross-reference features. However, I was unable to find a solution to my problem.
Assume you have a footnote[^1] in the body of the document. Then you define the footnote as:
[^1]: Here is my footnote.
Now assume that you want to cross-reference that footnote. For example, see footnote \@ref(label). I tried some different options with no success (like using {#label} after the footnote definition in [^1] or using \@ref(^1) as if ^1 was the label).
Maybe there is a simple solution to this and I am missing it. Or maybe it is necessary to have a specific structure as for figures \@ref(eq:label) and tables \@ref(tab:label). Something like \@ref(foot:label) where we can insert a {#label} or (#foot:label) at the definition of footnote. Like
[^1]: Here is my footnote.{#lab}
or
[^1]: Here is my footnote.(#foot:lab)
