Using comments in citations

I am using footnote citations (Modern Humanities Research Association). In my footnotes I sometimes want to add commentary. Like the following hypothetical footnote:

22. {citation}; {citation}. Heidegger is referring to Jesuit theologian Francisco Suárez (1548-1617), German theologian Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831), and French philosopher René Descartes (1596–1650). For other discussions of metaphysics, see also {citation}; {citation}.

The prefix and suffix fields in Zotero seem quite limited (character width) to manage such text. What is the character limit of each? And is there a way of inserting a normal Libre Writer footnote, dropping in the citations between the text, and still updating the citations if they should change?

    The affix fields don't have character limits, but you can also just add a citation into a footnote using the Zotero LibreOffice add-on and it will behave like any other citation inserted with the add-on.

    So for your specific example, I'd recommend doing this with affixes, but if you have longer discursive notes, inserting the citation in the footnote is perfectly fine.
