Pandoc and links as endnotes

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi everyone,

In the past I have seen e-mails where references are numbered in the 
main body of the text, like this(1), and the URL or bibliographical 
information of that reference is placed at the end of the email body 
with the right number of course.

I have tried to achieve this links-as-notes effect using pandoc and 
exporting markdown to txt, as well as markdown to rst, and neither of 
these options generate links as endnotes as described above. This is 
despite the fact that I tried using -V links-as-notes=true.

Can anybody tell me how they do this with pandoc or some other 
straightforward application?

Thanks,

Fernando
