Share Links: links with position in them do not start from the shared position about pocket-casts-ios HOT 5 CLOSED

When creating a current position share link, the time is included as a parameter (t) in the URL, e.g.:
https://pca.st/oqydnhns#t=155.0

When the web page is rendered, the "Open in Pocket Casts" button no longer includes the time:

So in order to support this, we'll need to update both the web page and the app to take the timestamp into consideration. The Android app has a similar issue logged: Automattic/pocket-casts-android#21

In Pocket Casts for iOS, links created using the Share Link To Current Position will open the Pocket Casts app to the relevant episode, but it will not start playing to the intended position in the episode.

In Pocket Casts for Android, links will open in a web browser and play from the shared position. Is there any chance the iOS app could better handle those links?

I’d actually prefer if on iOS, it opened in a web browser. The current behavior defeats the purpose of sharing to “current position”.
