I just wanted to add a quick note on this, in case anyone is wondering:

That `citationNoteNum` key there would be used internally where the
style "class" was "note-based"; as in, where the processor was
generating citations as footnotes.

In the CSL implementations I'm aware of (pandoc-citeproc with markdown
and org docs, or Zotero with LibreWrtier or MS Word), one can go
back-and-forth between "note-based" and "in-text" without modifying
the markdown source. The code is smart enough to know the different
between a citation in the text (that needs to be "footnoted"), and a
citation already in a footnote (which simply renders to be rendered,
without adding a new footnote), and how to get the correct footnote
numbering across the output document.
