Option to ask which profile to open external link

[DuncanLang]

With the updated profile support that's in Nightly, I would love to see an option to have Firefox ask which profile (based on currently open profile windows) to open an external link in. I really want to be able to use two profiles at my work PC to keep all of my work and personal data separate, but it would really ideal for way to be able to select which profile when I open a link from something like Teams.

Since Mozilla is promoting the use of profiles for content segregation (in addition to containers), it would be great if right-clicking a link also offered options to open the link on a specific profile, showing all available profiles (as we can currently do with containers).

Mark Links to Open in Specific Profile

The new profiles feature should have a feature like the multi-account container where specific links will always open in a specific profile. EX. Opening canvas will redirect the page to your school profile or opening wells fargo will open your work profile.

To further support my argument, there is already an option to move a tab to a different profile. While this is useful if you later decide to move a tab to a specific profile, if your intention is to directly open it on a different profile, you are forced to first open the link and then move it. There should (also) be an option to open it directly on a different profile.

@mmese if these aligns with your request, we can merge the two threads together (and combine the votes) so the conversation stays focused in one space. Just let me know 😃

@Jon yeah that works
