You should expect that: everything worth doing is done via styles! As 
has already been suggested, what you need is the Footnote Anchor 
character style.

But that isn't quite the whole story. Footnote anchors and footnotes 
are hyperlinks to each other, so you need only click on the footnote 
anchor to skip to the associated footnote. Inserting an extra anchor 
and formatting it appropriately will give the right appearance but 
not that function. Try this as well:
o Insert the new anchor number and format it as above.
o Select the anchor number.
o Go to Insert | Cross-reference... .
o On the Cross-references tab of the Fields dialogue, select 
Footnotes for Type and the relevant footnote under Selection.
o Click Insert and Close.

I trust this helps.
