Describe the Feature/Enhancement
The ability for another app to deep link to books in the ABS app.
Why would this be helpful?
I am building a recommender app that looks at what I've been listening to lately, and recommends audiobooks in my library to listen to next.
When I tap on a recommended book in my app, it would be super handy if that opened the book in the ABS app. WIthout this, the flow is not ergonomic: I have to find each recommended book manually.
Would be very happy to upstream if there's interest.
Audiobookshelf App Version

Funnily enough I was just building something that needs deep linking in Audiobookshelf and discovered this pull request. Would love to see this upstream!
