Use \showlabel package with newcommand \loadnote

Question

Inside my main.tex I inserted a function called \loadnote which refers to an external file notepie.tex in which are considered the footnotes (with reference to this discussion) .

\usepackage{catchfilebetweentags}
\newcommand{\loadnote}[1]{%
    \ExecuteMetaData[notepie.tex]{notes#1}%
}

I have repeatedly the following error :

Latexmk: Summary of warnings from last run of (pdf)latex: Latex found
3 multiply defined reference(s)

and in the search discovered a convenient package \usepackage{showlabels} that allows viewing the position of footnotes and references to equations.

I would like to understand if it was possible to implement the changes regarding the footed notes written with the command \loadnote{}.

for example :

1.file notepie.tex:

\documentclass[8pt]{article}

\begin{document}
%<*notes004>
\footnote{La mia footnotes è questa.}
%</notes004>

\end{document}

2.in the main.tex file :

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{catchfilebetweentags}
\newcommand{\loadnote}[1]{%
    \ExecuteMetaData[notepie.tex]{notes#1}%
}

\begin{document}

Se ho necessità di riferirmi ad una nota\loadnote{004},mentre la mia
equazione : $\tau = \mu\,\dot{\theta}{t}$\label{eq080}
\end{document}

the \loadnote is not a \label, I would like to know if it is possible to implement something to make sure that the lateral reference to the note is highlighted

thanks very much :)

yes probably you just need \SK@def \loadnote something.... A small test document showing \loadnote use would help answer the quesion — David Carlisle, Nov 16 '18 at 09:43
@DavidCarlisle if I enter \SK@def, I have many errors and the file is not compiled — Antonio, Nov 16 '18 at 10:16
that's what I meant by "something". showlabels lets you use \SK@def to hook into existing commands but the details depend on the command. you need \SK@def\loadnote#1{.....} where a small test file would help test what the .... has to be. (I see you added one thanks, I'll look in a bit) — David Carlisle, Nov 16 '18 at 10:26
@DavidCarlisle I do not understand how to insert SK@def, in the command \newcommand{\loadnote}[1]{% \ExecuteMetaData[notepie.tex]{notes#1}% }, because if I insert, I get errors. — Antonio, Nov 16 '18 at 11:54

This just hooks the \ref showkeys styling on to \loadnote

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{showkeys}

\usepackage{catchfilebetweentags}
\newcommand{\loadnote}[1]{%
    \ExecuteMetaData[notepie.tex]{notes#1}%
}
\makeatletter
  \SK@def\loadnote#1{\SK@\SK@@ref{#1}\SK@loadnote{#1}}%
\makeatother

\begin{document}

Se ho necessità di riferirmi ad una nota\loadnote{004},mentre la mia
equazione : $\tau = \mu\,\dot{\theta}{t}$\label{eq080}
\end{document}

the solution is excellent and very useful when mentioning the quations of which I often forget the position. I will have to read about this package. I am too new to latex and I often encounter difficulties in apparently trivial aspects – Antonio Nov 17 '18 at 06:24

Another possibility is to use the \showlabels command of the showlabels package (which is a distinct package from showkeys):

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{catchfilebetweentags}
\newcommand{\loadnote}[1]{%
X#1X%  \ExecuteMetaData[notepie.tex]{notes#1}%
}

\usepackage{showlabels}
\showlabels{loadnote} % handle \loadnote like \label

\begin{document}

Se ho necessità di riferirmi ad una nota\loadnote{004},mentre la mia
equazione : $\tau = \mu\,\dot{\theta}{t}$\label{eq080}
\end{document}

Example output below.

Thanks. never stop learning. also your solution is very interesting and I find it very tidy. — Antonio, Nov 18 '18 at 12:49
