[scribus] Broken Import of footnoted OOwriter text

[Pim Reinders]

What would be very helpful in handling foot-/end-noted texts is an expansion
of the text-chain concept. If it were possible not only to define a 'linear'
text chain like:

[1ST_TEXT_FRAME] -> [2ND_TEXT_FRAME] -> ... -> [last_TEXT_FRAME]

but also a branched chain like:

[1ST_FOOTNOTE_FRAME] [2ND_FOOTNOTE_FRAME]  [last_FOOTNOTE_FRAME]
       ^                   ^                           ^
       |                   |                           |
[1ST_TEXT_FRAME] -> [2ND_TEXT_FRAME] -> ... -> [last_TEXT_FRAME]
->[ENDNOTE_FRAME]

footnotes and endnotes could be handled elegantly. And -more importantly,
master pages could be built that handle fn's/en's in a standardized way.
