You could work up a macro using the Select → Enclosing Brackets  
function.

A simple example: Start recording a macro, do a find for “\footnote 
{”, press → once, press ⇧⌘B to select the enclosing brackets.

At this point you’ll have the brackets and contents of the footnote  
selected and can do what you want with them.
