yes.  I have.[1]

I also use it often, but not in published material.


And this is also standard on wikipedia:

Ciao; Gregor

[1] For instance

    Ullrich, Otto (1977/ 3rd Ed. 1988): Technik und
    Herrschaft. Vom Hand-werk zur verdinglichten
    Blockstruktur industrieller Produktion; Frankfurt am
    Main

    uses footnotes to reference sources.  On the first
    occurrence the source is described in bibliographic
    detail, subsequent footnotes mentioning the same source
    mention the first footnote number which features the
    bibliography.  Therefore the same footnote number is
    used several times but only from within footnotes.
