Hi,

I think a function for `org-export-filter-parse-tree-functions' would
work better here. For example, this function replaces "lorem ipsum" with
"foo" in all footnote definitions:

#+BIND: org-export-filter-parse-tree-functions (fnt-filter-replace)

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports results :results none
  (defun fnt-filter-replace (tree backend info)
    (org-element-map tree 'footnote-definition
      (lambda (fnt)
	(let* ((contents (org-element-interpret-data
			  (org-element-contents fnt)))
	       (contents-new (with-temp-buffer
			       (insert contents)
			       (save-excursion
				 (goto-char (point-min))
				 (while (re-search-forward "lorem ipsum" nil t)
				   (replace-match "foo" t nil)))
			       (org-element-parse-buffer))))
	  (apply #'org-element-set-contents
		 fnt
		 (list contents-new))))
      info)
    tree)
#+end_src

Best regards,

Juan Manuel
