#2that really does not seem to be something that tools care about. There is already $BROWSER env var, and all tools should support this - and then user can point it to whatever logic they want.
This will give much more control to the user compared to fixed "profile" setting - the script can check working directory, or URL, or calling process, or anything else you can think about!

If I'm reading this right that only lets you set the application name, not a specific profile inside the browser.

you set BROWSER to your local script, like /home/kevinburke/bin/my-browser
And that file is a shell (or python) script that runs whatever you need - for example that "open" command with profile argument. Or for a more complex setup, it can check the URL and use different profile depending on URL.
