OK, what I've done before is create a second footnote reference in text, pointing to the footnote in the footer.

Assuming that you footnote "(4)" duplicates (1), the way most style guides say to handle the footnotes is to have two references in text (or as many as you need in text) pointing to footnote (1).

Which means that you don't want to display a (4) in your text, you just want to put in a superscript (1) into the text passage in addition to the real footnote anchor. Readers will go to footnote text 1 from two points in the text, not just the automatically generated (1) footnote anchor.

So all you need to do is to type in the second (1) footnote reference in the text and set it to superscript. If you want to make it a hot link, you can use a hypertext anchor and link to the (1) footnote text at the bottom of the page.
