How to put footnotes in the page where they belong in a mdframed environment

Question

I have a large bunch of text in a mdframed environment, that span more than one page.

As it seems reading the documentation, the mdframed environment put every footnotes at the end of the frame, by design.

Is there a way to put each footnotes at the bottom of the page where it belongs, remaining inside the frame? I know it should be possible, using maybe the \footnotemark and \footnotetext commands, but the mdframed internals are too complicated for me...

Here a code sample that shows the default behaviour:

\documentclass[]{report}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{mdframed}

\begin{document}

\begin{mdframed}

    \lipsum[1]
    \lipsum[2]\footnote{can I appear in the first page inside the box?}
    \lipsum[1]
    \lipsum[1]
    \lipsum[3]

\end{mdframed}

\end{document}

Answer 1

It's quite a problem: mdframed must know how much space is available on the page; and the footnote may or may not end in that page, depending on where it falls in the framed material. I think that some clever trick as done in bigfoot could solve the problem, but it's quite intricated.

So, unfortunately, the answer is "not possible without very hard work".
