How do I link footnotes so the reference in one to another change.

When doing footnotes, a later footnote can refer to an earlier footnote (e.g.
"supra, n.8"). If the earlier footnote (note 8) were to change its number,
how do I get the corresponding number in the later footnotes to change
automatically? In other words, is there any way to insert some sort of
linking tab in subsequent footnotes?
