My problem with that extension is the separate profile requirement (so new links can't open in a specific profile), and some things (like Slack) don't fully work outside Chromium.

My solution works like this:

Slack open as PWA in Chromium in profile Work
Click link to http://that
Extension captures the request, cancels the new tab/window, sends the URL and profile name to a small service running on localhost
Service opens Firefox with same profile to URL

The extension is set to skip this process if the base URL is the same as the current site (Slack.com/google.com/etc).
