Merge macro to indicate link, source of quote, etc.?

Question

Is there a way in Confluence to specify a link to a text passage - for example, to provide the source of the quoted text in the same way as on Wikipedia, so that it looks like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ¹

[down the page]

---

¹ Cicero

Ideally, index "1" should be an internal hyperlink
