Answering my own email. I've had a look at core-not.tex, and I see a lot
of definitions such as \internalfootreference. I've tried setting some
of these myself with no luck. But it seems if I can just figure out the
right definition and the way to set it, I should be able to insert the
type of footnote I want. 

On the other hand, isn't there a way to just enter text in for your
footnote marker, and totally bypass any automatic numbering?
