There are footnotes already implemented:

[footnote text]

Creates a superscript linking to the given text, so:

[template ref[url text][footnote [@[url] [text]]]]

should do what you want, and then you can write:

[ref http://www.somewhere.com something]

and you should get a footnote that reads "something" and links to 
http://www.somewhere.com.

Does this help?
