Make random strings optional, to allow linking to footnotes.

Attached patch adds a checkbox which makes the addition of a radom string to each footnote ID optional.

I also need this. Alternate solution: Use an ID like `node-x-footnote-y` where x is the node ID and y is the footnote's ordinal or value.

Can switch away from random as long as its unique, e.g. perhaps as @rudolfbyker noted (though I haven't look in depth at implications). In any case needs MR + test coverage to match. Thanks!

scott_euser → changed the visibility of the branch 3450120-make-footnote-link-consistent to hidden.

Okay got a chance to hit this issue myself and I I like the suggestion in #4. Since status quo is always random, nobody could yet have a dedicated link to a specific footnote, so I don't think we need to make this opt-in/opt-out. Added comments to the MR to make it clear.

Okay this is now ready, let me know if it works for you

For me this fixes the issue where links from citations to grouped references at the bottom of the page weren't working anymore.

Never mind, that doesn't fix it. I now have citations that link to #footnote1, while the footnote has an ID of footnote1-0. That's on a page with multiple text areas with footnotes and with all of them aggregated at the bottom of the page.
