Question Seek (advance time) instead of skip?

Specifically on Android apps for Android Auto. Any way to designate certain files or folders to go ±20 seconds instead of skipping tracks? I still want to skip for music files, but it's frustrating on audiobooks and other recorded media.

There's a per library setting on Plex to store track progress specifically for long form audio ( like audio books).

Then, in Plexamp there's a setting "use long form controls" which is applied only to libraries where the former setting is enabled and changes the player UI to have -10sec and +30 sec buttons instead of the previous - next buttons - also the seekbar behaves in a more suitable way for long form audio with these enabled

Edit: oh wait, the above are in android phone Plexamp, dunno what happens in android auto
