How about a custom link type?  I thought that’s general solution to life,
the universe and everything ;)

If a lot of the width is due to html cruft you might be able to shorten
redundant parts via a macro, but I’m sure you thought about that...  You
can also add more snippets, one after the other:

     @@html:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@@
     @@html:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@@

Another hackish solutions would be to use a filter + footnotes with a
recognizable pattern, but I’m not sure I would go that way...

I doubt this help, but those were my 2 cents.
