They are not imported nor are they exported by FTM in any manner that I'm
aware of.

The data intended to be used is really intended to be in the citation
detail. The point of the footnote is to customize the footnote while using
the citation detail. The footnote is really an output customization for FTM
much like TMG's footnote template.

I know of no way to deal with this except on a footnote-by-footnote basis.
