Links not opening in current profile

I have multiple profiles with the Opera GX browser
Even if I have a specific browser profile that I'm navigating, if I click on a link from another application such as Slack, it will not open in my current browser window but instead open a new window that does not appear to be synced with either of my profiles.
Can anyone explain what's going on or how to fix?

@wrathwolfk Links from external apps will always open in the default profile. And that's because it's the profile the OS knows to exist.

@leocg It doesn't even do that.
It opens in a new window, even if the default profile is open. That new profile seems to be 'separate' from the 2 profiles I actually have.

This is not an issue in any other browser. Tested in Brave, Chrome, FF, and Safari. Same behavior in Win11 and MacOS, but I didn't bother to test on Linux.

@wrathwolfk It probably opens a new window in the default profile.
