The cover and the title page are actually two different things.
And there are at least two ways (Calibre's built-in Polish feature and plugin Modify ePub) to update a cover without doing a full conversion.

As ilovejedd said, FFF can find the story URL inside the epub if you check on the 'Search inside ebooks for Story URL?' option in FFF settings.
However...

AO3's epubs are not compatible with FanFicFare's epubs. If you use FFF to 'update' a downloaded AO3 epub, it will 'work', but the existing AO3 epub will be discarded and a new FFF epub created.
Because FFF fetches the entire story (using the 'Entire Work' link) this isn't hugely disruptive, but you should be aware that it's happening.
