A possible alternative, which gives you more control over the link, is
`org-link-set-parameters'. For example:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(org-link-set-parameters
"pdf-pag"
:follow (lambda (path)
(let ((pag (if (string-match "::\\([1-9]+\\):*:*\\(.*\\)" path)
(match-string 1 path)
(error "no pages")))
(clean-path (expand-file-name (replace-regexp-in-string "::.+" "" path)))
(str (when (string-match "::\\([1-9]+\\)::\\(.+\\)" path)
(match-string 2 path))))
(start-process-shell-command "zathura" nil (concat "zathura "
clean-path
" -P "
pag
(when str
(format " -f '%s' " str)))))))
#+end_src
And then:
#+begin_src org
[[pdf-pag:~/Downloads/grub.pdf::95::do]]
#+end_src
Best regards,
Juan Manuel
