Does Tixati support Web-seeds in magnet links?

Does Tixati support Webseeds in magnet links?
I read in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_URI_scheme#Web_links_to_the_file  that using as= inserts a webseed but I can't get it to work.
I know it supports webseeds and it saves them in the torrent files.

The magnet link I made is magnet:?xt=urn:btih:fjt7fkhnqftap5cxp63y3o2jz76m2l3o&dn=ipxe.iso&xl=1048576&fc=1&as=https://releng.archlinux.org/pxeboot/ipxe.iso

I haven't been able to test it with other clients yet.

Web seeds in links aren't supported yet, but I'll try to get this into the next release, which should be out in a few days.

It will be the ws= attribute for webseeds, which seems to be customary.  The xs= and as= attributes are often used for .torrent URLs, not necessarily web seeds, so we'll just stick with ws= for now, which is what most other clients seem to do.

ws is the usual attribute name for web seed urls

yeah, as= would be a link to the torrent file.
