footnote as superscript link with reStructuredText and Sphinx

Is there a way to get Sphinx to generate superscripted links for footnotes that will be represented in HTML like this:

I tried:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur :superscript:`1` adipiscing
elit, sed do eiusmod tempor :superscript:`[#footnote2]_`
incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis

But the result is just:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur 1 adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor [#footnote2]_ incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis

But what I want is:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur 1 adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor [4] incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis

Can this be done?

This is done with footnotes, and explicitly numbering the footnotes. Footnote links are automatically superscripted.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur :superscript:`1` adipiscing
elit, sed do eiusmod tempor [2]_
incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis

.. [2] Text of the second footnote.
