Thanissaro’s translation series has a very nice feature at the end of each sutta, it lists similar suttas.

That’s an interesting feature, perhaps we might be able to implement it somehow.

As for the more general situation regarding footnotes, I have written at length on it here:

Why SuttaCentral doesn’t have footnotes

Note: I wrote this some time ago as part of another discussion. It’s a question that comes up from time to time, so I thought I’d make it more visible by making it it’s own thread. I have made a few changes to the original. In the original discussion, Ven Brahmali recommended adding footnotes to my translation, arguing that: Good. A translator’s work should be invisible. One of the biggest problems with footnotes is that you end up listening to the translator’s voice instead of the Buddha’s. …

Is having “AN 5.113 english” in the thread title enough for “SuttaCentral” to automatically link to any SCDD threads?

Normally you can simply write the sutta ID and it will create a link to the main SC. This is broken at the moment, however, but will be fixed in due course.

Getting links between discussions on D&D is more tricky, due to the limitations of the underlying search, which uses a database (PostgreSQL) rather than a fully-featured search engine. But we’ll see.
