Probably I’m lacking the adequate creativity.
I’ll sketch the problem as I see it.
Consider the filter FUN and the below file.
The transcoded version of the second "[fn:1]", say S2, will be passed to
our filter FUN, if FUN is added to
org-export-filter-footnote-reference-functions. But S2 will only contain
the estimated number of the footnote¹, e.g. "\footnotemark[1]{}". In
particular, we haven’t got the potentially transcoded reference to the
footnote definition. Without the reference, I don’t know how to add a
hyperref link.
We could capture the transcoded version of the link "[[f1]]" in FUN, if
FUN is added to org-export-filter-link-functions (I think). But by then
we’d only be served a generic reference, e.g. "\ref{org925ce52}". I don’t
know how we’d then differentiate between a link to a footnote and to some
other type of element, e.g. a source block. Hence, it becomes hard to
guess when to use e.g. \footref{.} instead of \ref{.}.

¹ It’s estimated because it’s not done on the latex side. E.g. I can
get an incorrect number by adding this to the top of my file:
#+latex: \addtocounter{footnote}{1}
More realistically, breakage would occur when a footnote is added by
some arbitrary latex command that Org doesn’t know about.
