Ionic 3 deep-linking and lazy-loading at the same time

According to what I've read in the documentation and forums, you enable deep-linking via : forRoot(appRoot, config, deepLinkConfig)

@ngModule({
  ..
  IonicModule.forRoot(MyApp, {}, {
    links:[{ component: ContactPage, name: "contact", segment: "contact"},
           { component: HelloPage, name: "hello", segment: "hello" }
          ]
  })
  ...
}) ...

This leads to adding ContactPage and HelloPage to declarations and entryComponents arrays within @ngModule, which would not be lazy-loaded.

So, this leads to the question, can you substitute strings, doing away with the imports and double array declaration, and have this?

@ngModule({
  ..
  IonicModule.forRoot(MyApp, {}, {
    links:[{ component: 'ContactPage', name: "contact", segment: "contact"},
           { component: 'HelloPage', name: "hello", segment: "hello" }
          ]
  })
  ...
}) ...

and achieve lazy-loading at the same time?

Update: Tried with a single Tabs page. I'm guessing it's not working ATM.
