Describe what is missing
Currently it is complicated to remove footnotes because one "just has to know" that they are there and there is no way to explicitly check if they have been set.
Describe your proposed solution
It would be great if handling of footnotes was exactly like handling of captions.
Additional context
For an HTML report written in Rmd we may want to set a footnote in a huxtable, but also export the same huxtable to an individual file. For the export we may not want to show that same footnote. Thus our export wrapper needs to know - explicitly - if a footnote is there or not to work in an automated manner
Given the second stackoverflow question the number would be at least 2. Also we are using huxtable as standard table package where I work (we decided this based on huxtable's perceived versatility), so if we add all those people the number increases to over 10. Having said that, this feature, or rather the lack of it, is no show stopper for us. Its just "something that came up" that I was not able to solve.

We were talking about this on stack overflow:

Another stack overflow thread that may be a little off-topic but also goes into the direction of wanting to handle footnotes like captions:
