Add profile selection option when opening external links

[Did-0001]

Currently, when opening a link from another app in WebLibre, the chooser mainly provides options for containers and tabs (which tab/container the link should open in). However, there is no option to select a profile before opening the link.

This becomes an issue for users who use multiple profiles for separation between personal, work, privacy-focused, or temporary browsing. Right now, links opened externally always go to the currently active/main profile, even when the user may want them to open in a different profile.

Add a profile selection option to the “Open link in WebLibre” dialog alongside the existing tab and container options.

For example:

• Profile
• Container
• Tab

This would allow users to directly choose which profile the external link should open in, instead of forcing everything into the main/current profile.

Additional context
This feature would be especially useful for users who rely heavily on profile separation for privacy, work/personal organization, or testing environments. Containers help within a profile, but they are not a replacement for completely separate profiles.

(Don't forget about webview it's also directly does things in main profile)

For now possible workaround:
A possible workaround is manually switching profiles before opening links, but this is inconvenient and interrupts workflow. Another option is copying the link and reopening it manually inside the desired profile, but that defeats the convenience of direct link handling.

If you really need strict separation I recommend you to use different Android Users or Work Profile separation in the first place.

The issue with your suggestion is, that we only can have one profile loaded at a time in WebLibre. A switch requires a complete restart of the app. So if you open a link for e.g. your work profile while the browser is currently running in private profile the browser needs to exit its current session. Since Android apps can't restart themselves you would need to switch back to the app and open the link again to invoke a fresh start of the browser. So the implementation for a already running browser will be very cumbersome (and probably not worth it).

What I think is the way:

• Displaying the current profile name in the "Open URL" Dialog, so the user recognizes in which profile he is in and can take manual action (= dismissing the link opening and switch profile, then open the link again from the source app)
• Add a new setting to control a Profile Selection dialog on cold starts of the Browser, so the user can switch profiles on start instead only inside a running session. That would work also for links and adds the selection you want, however it only works if the browser is not already running.

Oh, okay. I still think having a direct profile-switching option there would be useful, especially for users who want stricter control over profiles.

Right now, when opening a link from another app, the flow is: exit the app, open WebLibre, switch profiles manually, then open the link again. If profile switching could happen directly from the app-open action — even if it requires a restart — it would still be faster and more convenient.

Also, if possible, maybe the app could restart automatically and reopen itself afterward, similar to how some apps handle configuration changes. And one more idea: if technically feasible, could the original link be cached somehow and automatically reopened after the restart/profile switch process?
