Open-Handed - What Does / Does Not Work ?

Does anyone know which aura reading perks do and do not work with this perk? I know Kindred and Bond do, but Wiretap doesn't? What about Left Behind?

    Only aura perks with a finite range, emanating from the survivor themselves. The aura cannot come from a generator or the killer, etc.

    Kindred, Bond, windows of opportunity, visionary, plunderers instinct, left behind. I can't think of any more right now.

    It also works on keys with aura reading add ons like blood amber, and the ones that show survivor Auras.

    It does not work with maps.

    It works with anything that has a range limit centered on any survivor, whether that be yourself or a teammate. Several examples were already listed above, but a few more that also work are Empathy, Empathic Connection, Clairvoyance, Detective's, and it even works against Knockout (increasing the aura-reading range on slugged survivors to 32 meters).

    It doesn't work with Wiretap because the center of the range is the generator, and it doesn't work with stuff like Plaything/NOED totem auras because the totem is the center of the range. It also doesn't work with Dark Sense, because its aura reading technically isn't range-limited, it just doesn't activate specifically until the killer comes within 24 meters of you - once it's activated, the range is unlimited for its 10 second duration.

    Worth noting, the reason it works with Kindred's killer aura reading but not with Wiretap is because technically Kindred doesn't use the hook as the center of the aura-reading range, it uses the hooked survivor themselves as the center of the range. It would not work with Kindred if that was not the case.
