If this was a question to me, I do not fully understand it.

I am a bit confused.
Do you propose footnotes to have definition in different file? Or do you
want a link to arbitrary point in different file?

For footnotes, we will need to arrange export to search the definition
and include it into the exported file, while links have different set of
requirements.
