GX profiles: clicking on a link opens a tab in another profile

I have Opera GX (default browser) and an additional GX profile (for work).
Is it possible to make it so that when I click on a link (outside the browser), a tab opens in the active browser window? That is, in the active profile?
Now when I have a browser open for work (profile) and I click on a link, the Opera main window opens (because it is the default?) and a tab with the link I clicked on opens in it.
Can this be fixed?

@feunoires I guess Windows Registry would need to be changed for that to happen.

So this is definitely not the intended behavior of the browser and GX profiles?
If it's the Windows Registry,
Do you have any more detailed advice on this?

P.S. Currently, the similar functionality available in other browsers works as expected: the tab opens in the window of the active user (profile) and does not open another profile.

@feunoires As far as I know, GX profiles just create a new profile directory and add a shortcut to it in desktop/taskbar. Basically what you can do in any Chromium based browser with command line --user-data-dir
