[Haskell-beginners] maybe use for functors or arrows?

Is there a way to write the function
process :: [(Location,Item)] -> [(Location,ValuableItem)]
given a function indicating which Item's to keep
transform :: Item -> Maybe ValuableItem
using functors and arrows? The value for location stays with any item that
is kept.
What I have is
process inp = catMaybes (map g inp)
where g (l,i) = case transform i of
Nothing -> Nothing
Just v -> Just (l,v)
This looks like an arrow situation to me because you want to make a
function that acts on the second value in a tuple, and a little bit like a
Maybe functor.
Thanks,
Mike
