Can you add footnotes to community translations on Sefaria?

I’m trying to update and complete a deficient Sefaria community translation for a text with a lot of wordplay, double meanings, obscure/difficult language, and copy errors. I don’t want to interrupt the flow of the text for a casual reader, but at the same time, I want to elaborate on my specific translation decisions and alert the reader to the possibility of other interpretations. In Sefaria’s official translations, this is done through clicking on an unobtrusive blue asterisk which opens up an optional commentary. Is there a way to implement this feature within a community translation, or am I out of luck?
