Is there a way to pause Stardew Valley in multiplayer?

In multiplayer the days go by FAST. You really realise that Stardew usually pauses everytime you are in a cutscene or menu, and that is lost when you are playing multiplayer.

The clock is always running.

But if there is something of an emergency, like i need to leave right now because the pizza guy is at the door... Is there a way to still pause the game at any point during the day?

The host can use the /pause command and that pauses the game for all players. You can also type /resume to... Well, resume playing.

I've only verified this in local multiplayer, but if everyone is in a situation that would pause the game (for example, opening the menu) then time will pause. That requires a bit more coordination, though.
