It is difficult to know the indentation of the first line from the parse
tree. Both

  [fn:1] http://orgmode.org/

and

  [fn:1]       http://orgmode.org

will appear as "http://orgmode.org" anyway. We could compute it by
subtracting footnote's beginning position from paragraph's. However, we
cannot trust such positions as they might be fake, or even not there
(elements inserted right into the parse tree).

You can use a verse block to align properly links, if you want to.
