how to cite a fragment in the text itself?

hi!

i would be thankful if anybody answer my question.

briefly, my question is this: how to cite a fragment in the text itself?

for example: i am writing page 40 of my dissertation and i want to refer somewhere in that text itself, say, 47 or 30. i want to add a footnote and say there "refer to page 47 or 30" or "as i have explained in page 47 or 30". of course, i want that footnote be updated automatically if the fragment (say in page 47 or 30) i have cited, shifts to another page (say for 48 or 29), something like the option of table of content and its update would do.

thank you so much,

best
