Provide an alternative style for references to work in more of a pop-up way

Problem/Motivation

Users are jumped from the citation to the bottom of the page. Although they can jump back via the backlink, the experience can be jarring/disorienting.

Steps to reproduce

Use a citation to jump to a footnote reference in a long body of text.

Proposed resolution

Provide an optional alternative experience (opt-in) where the clicking on the citation is progressively enhanced to override that default behaviour, and instead grab the content of the target reference, and slide it in from the bottom in a try (animated only when not prefers-reduced-motion).

Provide a close option + handle click outside to close.

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

Optional new front-end user experience (opt-in) as described in Proposed Resolution.
