Description
Currently the Word plugin only seems to be aware of footnotes containing Zotero references. As a result, Zotero wrongly assigns citations the "Ibid." position even when there is an intervening note. Example:
- Dan Stillman, A Great Book (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2009), 25.
- Some note.
- Ibid., 68.
When we really should have:
- Dan Stillman, A Great Book (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2009), 25.
- Some note.
- Stillman, A Great Book, 68.
This behavior should be possible with Word, no?

This is almost entirely fixed by r6185. The patch won't help with footnotes that aren't numbered, but AFAIK no one seriously uses these anyway. The extra work for the <1% of users who do is probably not the best investment of time, so in the absence of any further API insights, I'm closing this ticket.
