Yes, that can be done, but it is cumbersome. The footprints are already part of the board, so I don't really understand why these "local" footprints don't show up in the footprint selection dialogue - without having to go through hoops to export them first, add a new library...
Exporting these footprints to a new library IS useful, if you want to use them for something else.
