Aves isn't finding my face tags (XMP metadata)

[amal-rgb]

Hi,
I use mylio for automatic face recognition/tagging and smart tags. Mylio saves them in an XMP sidecar.

Since I couldn't get aves to read the sidecars I decided to merge the sidecar into the jpg metadata using exiftool. But aves isn't finding them.

The tags are under XMP : IPTC Extension
Person In Image [1]⁩

In XMP there are regions assigned by mylio for each face (multiple regions for multiple people)

When a new random tag is made in aves the xmp showed it is saved under Dublin core
Subject [1]⁩

So my question is this.
Is there a way for aves to read the side car files? Can aves only Read the Dublin core field for tags? Is there a way for me to transfer the IPTC field data to Dublin core.

Side note:
I'm not a huge fan of the mylio mobile app(the ui). I really like the aves ui ( its clean and super smooth ) and the app has some sick features.
I have a lot of old family photos and too busy to manually tag all of it. I don't always have my laptop with me. So I'm using mylio to smartly sort the photos and aves to view and browse through it locally on my phone.

Regarding sidecar files, no Aves can't see them (they are not media files) and even if it could I wouldn't support them as I think it's not as convenient as having the metadata within the media files.

Regarding tags, I wouldn't mix generic tags (the Dublin core "subjects") with the face regions, as they are semantically distinct. However, I would like to support XMP regions in general and display faces/people in their own category (like tags and countries). It is already requested here:
