Multiple Footnote references on a page

As far as I know, you are right, the response is no.

To be honest, I never saw that in a published item.

No hidden things.

I read many books with many references.
I never got ones with several references to a single footnote in a single page

What I knew is:

(1) see page #xy in "the very good book" by theFineAuthor
(2) ibid
(3) ibid page #yz

I think the way to do this is to make a footnote number manually in the second spot in the text, format it as desired (superscript for example) and use the same number as the earlier one. I don't know of an automatic way to do this in pages.

That said, the formally correct way of doing this in footnoted writing is to make a new footnote at the second location (with a new number) and have the body of the footnote read "ibid." This translates as "the same place" in other words, same cite as before. The reason for this is that each footnoted statement is different, even though the cited reference is the same. Formal writing with the same footnote number multiple times at different locations is highly frowned on in formal writing. That just isn't the way it is done. Hence ibid.
