I want to ask if the server could access Ebook Viewer or only the Library Manager.
Like when exporting the highlights to markdown, we get highlight links in this format:
calibre://view-book/hex-4176f6b73/12/EPUB?open_at=epubcfi%28/12/2/4/2/20/2%5Bf000005%5D/1%3A0%29.

This opens a new viewer even if the book is already opened.
But I would prefer it jump to the highlight location in the already-opened book instead of starting a new instance, which is generally not ideal.
Also jumping directly to highlight from links would make the workflow of editing notes and highlights externally much smoother for me.
