path expanding on hints

[sbeckeriv]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
for hints i would like to expand the path this is my current hint config

map kitty_mod+p>n kitten hints --type=linenum --linenum-action=tab nvim {path}
and my term text is

/home/becker on  master [⇡»!?] via C base 
✦ ❯ vi ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf:5
/home/becker on  master [⇡»!?] via C base took 16h49m54s 
✦ ❯ /home/becker/.config/kitty/kitty.conf:5

the full path opens correct
the ~ path opens.. im not sure. when i try and write it vim says "E212: Can't open file for writing: no such file or directory"

If i run just

vi ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf the activity shows nvim loading the full path.

Describe the solution you'd like
maybe an {expanded_path} ?

Describe alternatives you've considered
maybe {path} passed to nvim i just receiving the wrong thing?

Additional context
the running vim commands from manual vs the hint.
