Is there any solution to this other than fixing blackfriday?

Currently doing

Text[^one] 

More text[^one]

[^one]: URL

results in

Text^1 

More text^2

1: here
2: here

Instead of (like wikipedia)

Text ^1

More text^1

1 a,b: URL

Are you trying to do footnotes or just in-copy anchors? For me, I’ve never had an issue using numbered footnotes:

He is current the worst President the world has ever known. [^1]

[^1]: Read more about [Donald Trump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump).

Or referencing the same link multiple times within copy by creating a ref link that I define at the bottom:

I can't believe what [he][trump] said in [yesterday's press conference][trump] at the [White House][trump].

[trump]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump
