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.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

I have implemented this feature here:

https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/compare/master...zvea:audiobookshelf-app:feature/android-item-deep-links

Would be very happy to upstream if there's interest.

Audiobookshelf App Version

Android App - 0.11.0

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

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