It's on our list, but requires a ton of dependencies to be in place before this becomes an option.

Vita3k is a weird one since games first need to be installed into the emulator before they will actually play, which means we'd either need access to the app's internal files, or we'd have to provide a lengthy step-by-step tutorial for users on how to import their games. We would rather provide a solution with the simplest steps for the user, but no matter how you look at it, Vita3k will have import steps that are more lengthy, and very specific to this one emulator. We'll give it our best shot though, and we have this slated for the release after next.

Have you taken a look at ES-DEs implementation? No zips are required

Yeah, and I could imagine that could be annoying for people with hundreds of vita games.

We know how vita3k works, and have implemented a pretty good solution into the Windows version of LaunchBox, whether we can do something similar on Android remains to be seen.

We are currently working on all the dependencies right now which would set us up to explore seamless ways we could help with vita3k import and game launching, but realistically we are still at least a month out before we start on that research.
