The one I saw not wire mesh, just a very thin layer of skin, looks like made of silicon.

Can cement plaster adhere/bond to something elastic as a membrane surface?

Vertical...not structural crack.
Remove the plaster, around 75mm each side of crack, along crack line. Add expamet mesh and plaster back.

This should be the way to repair it.
TS, the crack should not be worried too much. Just it is an eye saw.
