I can't say because I don't have Pocket installed now.

In normal epubs to search for the title of the article,you can highlight the item and select Search->Search Google , which may land you on the original article.


But if Pocket articles are not compatible (I didn't try), you have an alternative that IS compatible because you download an actual epub:

I tried this with the Chrome browser extension - no signup required! Just downloaded the epub.
The converted epub even includes a link to the source web page at the end.

Unfortunately, in my brief tryout of the android app, it hung with the spinning circle on the screen.
Since I do 99% of my web browsing on my phone, that doesn't work for my case.
