PDF navigation support

Really appreciate this work, now Obsidian v1.3.7 supports copy selection in PDF as a link, Does obsidian-advanced-uri have any plan to support visiting a PDF selection block by a single URI? Thanks!
What exactly should the advanced uri do, what the normal Obsidian one can't?
For example, when we select some texts in the PDF and right-click on it, it will pop up for a "Copy link to selection", if we click that and then paste it, we will get the following text:
[[Types_and_Programming_Language.pdf#page=397&selection=8,0,16,68]]
But it means nothing on the Web, it is meaningful only in Obsidian.
So how about supporting open this selection by visiting the following URI:
obsidian://advanced-uri?vault=_posts&openmode=true&filepath=Types_and_Programming_Language.pdf&page=397&selection=8,0,16,68
so I can click it on the web and open the PDF locally, that's really convenient for me.
That's actually already possible, by using the text from the internal link and properly encoding the #,&,= symbols and using the filepath parameter. Though that's not very handy, so adding the parameters as well could make things easier. On the other side, I don't think you are going to write them manually, so only adding a copy to advanced uri button could be enough. What do you think?

I think the requested feature is very useful, and this solution is enough.
