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
