Rob Oaks sent me an email to the effect that you can just put a regular
old label in the footnote (it'll be named Flo:something-or-other). Then
you cross reference that -- by hand, because the cross-reference dialog
box doesn't seem to pick up on the existence of the thing. You'll need
to superscript it by hand, but if you do it looks just fine, and you can
have multiple references to the same note.

Hi, Tim,
I recently had occasion to do this, in a table. I ended up using
the ctable package. I think there are much more elegant/robust
solutions out there, but this worked for me.
1. In the preamble: \usepackage{ctable}
2. Insert a table in lyx
3. Before you make the table, insert a Box (minipage)
4. Before the table (in the Box), place the latex command (in Evil
Red Text): \renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\thempfootnote}
5. Place your first footnote wherever it needs to go in the table
6. At each successive footnote position, place some ERT which
reads: \footnotemark[\value{mpfootnote}]
Unfortunately, I haven't taken the time to figure out what you need to
do if you have to do something like
Stuff (footnote "a" here)
More stuff (footnote "b" here)
Yet more stuff (footnote "a" again here).
The way I describe in the 6 steps above means that all of the
footnotes inserted using the \footnotemark command will refer to the
most-recently inserted (via LyX commands) footnote.
Not sure if that makes sense until you try it. In any case, if
someone else has a response, I'd greatly love to know it!

*Subject:* Multiple references to one footnote?
Is there a way to reference a footnote multiple times? I.e., when you
have multiple entries in a table, all needing the same note?
Thanks.
