I don’t understand what you’re talking about here. You can already use `\[ ... 
\]'
outside a paragraph, e.g.

┌────
│ blah blah blah
│ 
│ \[
│   not part of a paragraph
│ \]
│ 
│ blah blah blah
└────

I also don’t see how footnotes are analogous, as footnotes are placed in the
middle of a line of text.

If you could explain your thoughts here a bit more, that would be appreciated.

org-latex-preview :)

All the best,
