Intercept Multi-Markdown Footnote

First, Sean, thanks for this plugin. I often write with a lot of parenthetical statements, so your plug has made my articles much more readable. 🙂

Recently, I switched from writing my drafts as formatted text in Scrivener to writing multi-markdown in iA Writer. After finishing writing, I use that program’s “copy formatted” function and paste into the Gutenberg editor. I’m not sure exactly how footnotes (e.g., [^this is a markdown footnote] ) are translated in the copy operation, but they are successfully being grabbed by the Gutenberg footnote function.

I would rather they be grabbed by Modern Footnotes instead. Is this possible (and/or not a Bad Idea™)?

Note that the plugin does correctly recognize the [mfn][/mfn] shortcodes if I have that in my copied text, so there’s already a way to make it work, but it would be much faster/stay-in-the-moment for writing (as well as a key-command shortcut to instantiate) if I could use the built-in MMD footnote.

Again, thank you for the plugin!
