FWIW, people filed a bug report in Chrome to support external urls for filters way back in 2012 and it was not until last fall (2024) that this was fixed in a released version of chrome. It took them over 12 years to implement this.

Qt 6.8.x is based on Chrome 130 series whereas I think Qt's 6.9.x series is based on Chrome 138 series or later.

So support for this feature will be really hit and miss depending on which version of chrome's blink was used for a specific e-readers firmware, or if they are running on iOS or not. So use these features at your own risk as support is not widespread.
