Photoshop 2022 javascript scripting svg support

Question

Photoshop 2022 seems to support opening SVGs but I can't find support for it in the javascript scripting document (https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/photoshop/pdfs/photoshop-javascript-ref-2020.pdf) to specify the size to rasterize it at.  It will let me use EPSOpenOptions but doesn't seem to respect the width and height that I'm passing in and always opens at 44.443" x 44.443" and is very slow.  I think I might be able to use the Script Listener to get a function that I need but was just curious if anyone has worked with SVGs in Photoshop javascript scripting.  Thanks! // enable double clicking from the Macintosh Finder or the Windows Explorer
#target photoshop

// in case we double clicked the file
app.bringToFront();

app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
app.preferences.typeUnits = TypeUnits.POINTS;
app.preferences.smartQuotes = false;

epsOpt = new EPSOpenOptions();
epsOpt.width = 10;
epsOpt.height = 10;
pdfFile = app.open(new File("(full path)",epsOpt,true));

In case anyone stumbles across this post, this is the function I came up with to open svgs using the script listener.

function openSVG(fullfilepath,width,resolution,colormode){
    if(typeof resolution == "undefined")
        resolution = 300;
    if(typeof colormode == "undefined")
        colormode = "RGBC" ;
    /*
       colormode should be one of these
            "RGBC"   - RGB
            "ECMY" - CMYK
            "Grys" - Grayscale
            "LbCl" - Lab color
        */
    
    // from script editor to be able to open SVG
    var idOpn = charIDToTypeID( "Opn " );
    var desc224 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var iddontRecord = stringIDToTypeID( "dontRecord" );
    desc224.putBoolean( iddontRecord, false );
    var idforceNotify = stringIDToTypeID( "forceNotify" );
    desc224.putBoolean( idforceNotify, true );
    var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
    desc224.putPath( idnull, new File(fullfilepath) ); // filename
    var idAs = charIDToTypeID( "As  " );
    var desc225 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idWdth = charIDToTypeID( "Wdth" );
    var idPxl = charIDToTypeID( "#Pxl" );
    desc225.putUnitDouble( idWdth, idPxl, width); //  width  (width and height will adjust in tandem based on aspect ratio)
    var idRslt = charIDToTypeID( "Rslt" );
    var idRsl = charIDToTypeID( "#Rsl" );
    desc225.putUnitDouble( idRslt, idRsl, resolution); // resolution (pixels/inch)
    var idMd = charIDToTypeID( "Md  " );
    var idClrS = charIDToTypeID( "ClrS" );
    var idColor = charIDToTypeID( colormode); // color mode
    desc225.putEnumerated( idMd, idClrS, idColor );
    var idAntA = charIDToTypeID( "AntA" );
    desc225.putBoolean( idAntA, true );
    var idCnsP = charIDToTypeID( "CnsP" );
    desc225.putBoolean( idCnsP, true );
    var idsvgFormat = stringIDToTypeID( "svgFormat" );
    desc224.putObject( idAs, idsvgFormat, desc225 );
    var idDocI = charIDToTypeID( "DocI" );
    desc224.putInteger( idDocI, 219 );
    executeAction( idOpn, desc224, DialogModes.NO );
}
