Consider foot notes for citations when exporting Deep Research reports

When I download an output from Deep Research (DR), the citations are special tokens that not even the assistant in the same chat that initiated the DR is able to resolve.

The citation identifiers have no meaning outside ChatGPT. Readers of the exported Markdown cannot follow the references or identify their sources.

Please provide an option to have these citations converted to markdown foot notes when exporting.

For example, instead of:

# Green Eggs and Ham

"I do not like green eggs and ham." citeturn123search0

Give:

# Green Eggs and Ham

"I do not like green eggs and ham."[^1]
