Hello.

I'm new to the community, so I'm sorry it's not appropriate to ask such a question here.

I recently knew this feature by reading this article.

https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2020/04/30/automatic-profile-switching/

So I tried, but it didn't seem to work as I expected.

I tried,

1) Create multiple profiles

2) In "Multiple profile preferences", choose one profile as default

3) Shut down the Edge

4) Open other app (I tried slack and Outlook), and click the link

Then I expected the Edge opened the link in the profile I chose in 2),

but it opened the link in the profile I last used.

What's the expected behavior?

I tried MacOS 10.14.6 Mojave and Edge Version 81.0.416.72 (Official build) (64-bit)
