Description
When creating a link to a footnote with hyperref and the first line of the footnote is indented, then the hook of the footnote is also shifted to the right and the footnote number as well as the beginnings of the following footnote lines are not shown in hover preview, which is offered by TeXShop and Skim under MacOS, for example. Is there any LaTeX code to move all of hyperref's hooks for footnotes to the left? Here is an example file illustrating the problem:
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
Some text with a footnote.\footnote{This is a longer footnote extending over at least two lines of text, where the first line is indented as desired and the beginning of the second one can't be seen with hover preview.}
\end{document}
Here is a screen shot from TeXShop's hover/popup preview.

Research direction
Start by compiling the minimal example with hyperref and checking the footnote hover preview in TeXShop and Skim. Investigate whether the footnote hook position can be changed without losing the footnote number or line beginnings; done means those elements are visible in the preview.
