HTML anchor links to docx internal hyperlinks

I’m converting from HTML to docx using this URL as input: 
https://www.givewell.org/charities/helen-keller-international  
<https://www.givewell.org/charities/helen-keller-international>


Works fairly well out of the box but experiencing a puzzling behavior. The 
footnotes in the HTML go in both directions: clicking footnote reference 1 
goes to footnote 1 and vice versa. This is accomplished with “pairs” of <a>/
<li> tags like this:

 

*Footnote ref link:*

<a class="see-footnote" id="footnoteref1_uginwip" title="  We have 
published notes from one of our conversations with HKI staff: GiveWell's 
non-verbatim summary of a conversation with Helen Keller International, 
June 1, 2017.  " href="#footnote1_uginwip">1</a>

*Footnote link back to footnote ref:*
<li class="footnote" id="footnote1_uginwip"><a class="footnote-label" href=
"#footnoteref1_uginwip">1.</a> 

<p>We have published notes from one of our conversations with HKI staff: <a 
class="source-definition" href=
"http://files.givewell.org/files/conversations/Helen_Keller_International_06-01-17_(public).pdf"
>GiveWell's non-verbatim summary of a conversation with Helen Keller 
International, June 1, 2017</a>.</p> 

</li>


So each footnote ref links to an <li> while each footnote links back to an 
<a>

 

In the resulting .docx the footnotes only work in one direction: clicking 
footnote ref 1 goes to footnote 1 but clicking footnote 1 hyperlink goes to 
Top of Document.

 

Pandoc/Word creates bookmarks around each footnote number (not the entire 
<li>). The bookmark names are the same as the footnote <li> html IDs. 
Unfortunately, it does NOT create bookmarks around each of the footnote 
refs for the footnote to link back to.

 

It seems odd that it would recognize the ID of a <li> and link to it 
correctly, but it doesn’t recognize the ID of an <a> and link to it 
correctly. Maybe there’s some practical reason for this—does anyone know 
why? And/or how I might go about achieving the desire behavior of the 
footnote linking back to its reference <a>?
