AFAIK, Eldoc expects a function that will return the string to be
displayed. You can use `font-lock-ensure' to fontify the footnote
definition you need to display. Then, the copied string will hold the
fontification as it would be in Org mode buffer.

I see nothing in git history and mailing list.
I think that it makes sense to convert org-footnote-delete into
interactive function.
