Ok, I give up: is there some way to do extra manipulation on the previous word? (like, making it a reference, or something)
HH> Can you be more explicit on what you want to achieve? Consider: This word\footnote{with a footnote} has a footnote Now, when producing DVIs, the foonote number (hyer)linked to the footnote would suffice. When creating PDFs I would prefer the footnote to be turned into a tooltip (this I already did) and the word to be turned into the active area, i.e. a result similar to \tooltip{footnote}{with a footnote}. I can do this by defining a command \xfootnote{word}{with a footnote} that gives either of the two results in each case, but it would be nice if it was possible without changing the sources. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
