No.  However, adding numbered notes to the end of the book or of a
chapter is quite easily doable.

Footnotes would go in the page footer, so you could manually add a
footnote to the footer of the desired page.  If the notes have very few

each page, eventually used to hold a short footnote.  In the following
book, the page header is changed according to the current chapter title:
