Feature Request: Timestamp-Driven Episode Switching in PodNotes Player

[gracchen]

Hello, I am trying to have fast switching between different episode timestamp links using the capture timestamp command with the "{{linktime}}" format. However, when switching to an episode not currently playing in PodNotes Player, it will default to the last played timestamp or 0 instead of the timestamp of the just clicked link. The plugin already acknowledges this with a popup notice: "Episode found, playing now. Please click timestamp again to play at specific time."

So as a workaround, I made two slight modifications that successfully addresses my issue (so far):

1. at the very end of podNotesURIHandler() in src/URIHandler.ts, after the aforementioned notice, I add api.currentTime = parseFloat(time);
2. in onMetadataLoaded() from src/ui/PodcastView/EpisodePlayer.svelte, I commented out the call to restorePlaybackTime()

I am not familiar with the repo or svelte, so any improvements or adoption of this workaround as a toggle-able option would be greatly appreciated!
