You can't have your cake and eat it. Either you cross-reference an existing
footnote or you create a new footnote. If you do the latter, you can use a
cross-reference to the previous footnote in your new footnote, in the form
"Op. cit. note [cross-reference]."

Cross-referenced footnotes should appear at the bottom of the page that
includes the cross reference. Preference is to use the ibid format. For
example if footnote first appears on page 3 and a subsequent reference to
the
same footnote is made on page 5, then the original footnot should be
repeated
OR add an indicator at the bottom of the page indicating the page where
the
original footnote can be found OR use the popular ibid reference format
but
include the page number of the orogianl when the footnotes are not
contained
in a footnote summary section at the end of the book or the end of a
chapter.
