Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.167 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Set up a chrome with more than one people profiles (i.e. personal and work) 2. Open a link from an external app What is the expected behavior? It always happens to me that I open personal stuff in work profile and vice versa. In a case of opening a link from an external app I'd expect a chrome to ask me in which profile the link should be opened. Especially in a case where there are multiple windows of multiple profiles currently opened. What went wrong? Chrome somehow chooses (latest, default, currently open?) a profile for me. Which means that it takes some time before I realize why there are not the links in the history which I expect. Did this work before? No Chrome version: 64.0.3282.167 Channel: stable OS Version: OS X 10.13.3 Flash Version: This is a feature request - I hope that I used a proper list to report this to...

I agree with the creator. The behavior should be improved. Hoping for a change here.

What I've found handy is: right click, open link as -> lets you pick a profile to open the link in.

which of course, only works in Chrome - never mind ;-)
