5ET-1180 Support optional notes in {@homebrew} tags #1408

Description

@crawltracker

Information
When a homebrewer/converter wants to put a note to clear confusion, show reasoning and other moments in which they need to address the readers, they are somewhat limited in their choices:

  1. Use the {@homebrew} tag, make their changes, hope the reader understands the reasoning 1.a. Do the above, add an asterisk {@footnote}` with your full note.
  2. Use the `{@footnote} tag, address the reader, do not change the original text.
  3. Use the {@footnote} tag alongside the {@style} tag to make it look like the {@Homebrew}` tag? That sounds cursed.

This feature request aims to alleviate this pain point and proposes an optional field to all {@homebrew} tags for homebrewers/converters to address the reader directly.

Who would use it?
Homebrewers and converters.

How would it work?
I have prepared mock images :D

Why should this be added?
Not all brews are created equal, and some are more flawed than others. For those brews, to limit the confusion and problems expansion of the {@homebrew} tag's capabilities is, in my opinion, very good.

Can't you wrap the entire homebrew tag in a footnote?

Wrapping homebrew tags within footnote tags effectively removes the homebrew tag's popup and I'd rather not want that.
