Issue that this suggestion fixes

I use multiple browser profiles for work, personal, etc. (Google Chrome, but the same applies to Edge, Brave, Firefox, etc.). If I click on a meeting link, it opens that link in the default browser profile, and I cannot choose a specific profile to use.

Hey

I guess we need something like Custom URL for joining meetings too (ref https://github.com/leits/MeetingBar/issues/520)

Hi! Thanks for the request. Google Meet links have account recognition based on calendar email. Same with custom links to create appointments. It works via authuser URL parameter.

Instead, the configuration of the profile does not take place through the URL, but through the program launch parameters. Also, a profile is a static parameter. I suggest giving the option to configure the profile as a browser configuration. Accordingly, it will be possible to add another Chrome, which will be launched in a certain profile.

What do you think?

Sounds good to me.

I dug deeper and there is actually no way for sandboxed to pass arguments when launching other apps:

If the calling process is sandboxed, the system ignores the value of this property.

Sorry, there is no possibility to choose a profile on MeetingBar side You can try apps like Choose or OpenIn. They have this functionality available as they are not in the sandbox. But be careful, it carries security risks.
