Yes, that would be a good possibility. The images of the tutorial makes it almost impossible to post it here, online. Basically the procedure to transform an epub in a fb2 (with footnotes at the end of the page) is:

1. To convert the epub in an .odt (LibreOffice) document with Jutoh (it makes a great .odt with working hyperlinks).
2. To open the .odt with LO and by S&R, to change styles h1, h2, h3, etc., with styles Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.
3. To transform the .odt hyperlinks (endnotes in the original epub) in footnotes with the aid of OOOFbtool extension of LO. (Here is the tutorial that BobC wrote.)
4. To build the .fb2 also with OOOFbtool.

The whole work, it takes no more than 10 minutes. But of course, all the credit belongs to BobC. I think that he won't have any problem to allow his tutorial will be published in the Wiki of the forum.

EDIT: It's a piece of cake. It's not neccessary Jutoh; Calibre makes a great conversion from epub to docx and LibreOffice can open that docx so OOOFBtools can make its magic.

Sometimes it takes two leaps to cross a yawning chasm

You were right! In my previous answer I wasn't aware of OOOFBtools; now it's easy to convert that .docx in .fb2
