Zotero links

I've been playing around with the zotero:// style links. I was wondering if there is a way to get such links to work in the ios app? If I have the number for an entry or the epub, can I open it with a link? I was not able to get zotero://open-pdf to work

With the web library I can use links like this and it opens the epub directly:
https://www.zotero.org/USERNAME/items/ENTRY/attachment/EPUBKEY/reader

Is there a way to do this with the ios app?

They should work in iOS, for details see: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/419252/#Comment_419252 (I don't believe the other things mentioned there have happened yet)

Thanks! I got it to work for pdfs.

EDIT:
I found this merge on the ios app on Github so I guess I just have to wait ;) https://github.com/zotero/zotero-ios/pull/1127

Old post:
I hope support for epubs with open-pdf will also come soon? It works well in the web library with zotero.org/username/items/ITEM_ID/reader but I couldn't get it to open the epub with zotero://open-pdf/library/items/ITEM_ID

EDITed edit: It works in the Zotero app on Windows if you link to the id of the epub.
