How can I "share" a footnote multiple times on a given page?

Questions
1

I have a situation where multiple items within a given page have a footnote whose content is the same but I don’t want to make multiple footnotes content, but instead have multiple items corresponding to the same footnote.

As an example I might want to create something like:

Apples* and bananas* are needed.

–
(*) If the fresh fruit is not available then you can use the dried version.

But what I don’t want is the default behaviour of using footnote.

Apples* and bananas** are needed.

–
(*) If the fresh fruit is not available then you can use the dried version.
(**) If the fresh fruit is not available then you can use the dried version.

Sorry for answering my own question but it appears this behaviour is supported and documented already. Footnote Function – Typst Documentation

You can do it like this where you use a label like fn to attach to the footnote when it is first created.

Apples #footnote[If the fresh fruit is not available then you can use the dried version] <fn> and bananas @fn are needed.
