This allows user to open bookmarks taking into consideration which profile the bookmark is on.
I use Edge so it's well tested on it. I assume it should also work on Chrome. I don't use Firefox on a daily basis.

Here's what it looks like:

Please clarify when opening a bookmark from non-default browser set in Flow, on your current build. Haven't tested it yet but it looks like because API doesn't provide an option to specify browser so wrong profile args are sent to default browser.

~~ I've refactored the OpenUrl API for better future compatibility. ~~

On second thought we shouldn't touch API in this PR.

@VictoriousRaptor You're correct. Haven't notice this before.
If user uses Chrome and Edge to bookmark and profiles it can run into the following situation.

  1. Edge default browser
  2. Chrome profile 11 bookmarks google.com
    3.1. Flow.Launcher launches google.com from Chrome bookmark -> on default browser -> Edge -> targeting profile 11 - It'll create profile 11 data folder and start Edge from there.
    3.2. If profile 11 already exists on Edge, it'll just use that data folder instead and launch Edge from there (which is not correct if you rely on sessions from Chrome).

It's not a scenario I would run into but it's worth considering. Perhaps in the future we could extend the bookmark plugin to also keep track of browser absolute path somehow but for now it only spawns the default browser as-is on current implementation.

Currently if I have a bookmark on Firefox and open it, it'll also open on default browser Edge, not Firefox.

Happy to close this PR as not suitable to everyone if you think the workflow above can/will be too confusing.

I want to hear your thoughts on this one before putting more work into this one.

So this is what the default browser settings's about. API only provides the function to open a url in default browser.

A reasonable solution is to implement a browser selection feature in Bookmarks plugin to open the bookmark in the browser and profile as is.
