# Advanced Footnote Usage

MDA footnotes enable explicit, structured relationships between documents, enhancing discoverability and context for AI systems.

This document demonstrates several relationship types:

- Referencing the core technical specification[^core-spec].
- Linking to a related example document[^dyn-gen].
- Citing an external resource[^md-guide].

## How It Works

Footnote references appear inline (`[^id]`), and definitions at the bottom carry JSON payloads describing the relationships.
