Requesting for opinion on footer reference accessibility

Hi All,

Scenario:
One of the web pages I am currently working has a heading in the
footer as References and all the references are listed out in an
ordered (numbered) list.
The proper reference numbers are referred throughout the main region
with superscript.
There is no functionality of clicking on the reference number and
moving to the footer reference links.

Query:
1. From accessibility point of view is it required to provide the
functionality of clicking on the reference number to move to the
footer reference link?
2. If yes, how to provide skip back to the content from footer
reference section when the same reference number is used at multiple
places in the main region?

I feel this is not needed as the functionality is not present.

Thanks & Regards,
Mohith B. P.
