Zotero 7: Clicking links of EPUB and HTML annotation doesn't bring me to the highlight location
In Zotero 6, dragging highlight into a Markdown-based note-taking apps will result in links such as:
“13.1 naming an ether” ([Klein, 2017, p. 558](zotero://select/library/items/R4XU76E9)) ([pdf](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/WCT6V3QH?page=578&annotation=YY3X9LPP))
And clicking the pdf link (zotero://open-pdf[…]) will bring me to the highlight location in Zotero. In Zotero 7, clicking this link for EPUB and HTML doesn't do anything. Is this feature not yet supported for EPUB and HTML files? If it's indeed hasn't been supported, If I make annotations now, will it work in the future when the feature is supported?
Also now that Zotero supports EPUB and HTML annotation, will the URI "zotero://open-pdf" change in the future (into something such as zotero://open-epub and zotero://open-html or Zotero will just use zotero://open-pdf for all 3 types of attachment?)
Another bug in Zotero 7 is that when clicking the highlight annotation for PDF, it takes me to the highlight location, but there's no flashing and color changing effect as in Zotero 6. It makes finding a highlight a bit harder if the page is annotated densely.

Yes, we're going to rename zotero://open-pdf to zotero://open, but still leave the former as an alias.
For EPUB and HTML files, clicking the link doesn't do anything.
Happened on
- Windows 10, Zotero 7.0.0-beta.38+b79e0b3d7 (64-bit).
- Windows 11, Zotero 7.0.0-beta.52+2f8e536f2 (64-bit) (partially fixed).
Thanks for keeping the alias in the URI changes.
Let me know if I should make another feature request, but I think it'd be nice to have the zotero://open protocol to work with all attachments, such as videos. If it's a file not supported by Zotero, when trigger by the protocol, Zotero will redirect it to the default app of the OS. This makes opening other types of attachments less cumbersome.
