Describe the bug
I would like to open any links clicked in slack to open in a specific chrome profile
os: Macos 15.7.3
finicky version : 4.2.2

Your configuration

export default {
  defaultBrowser: "Brave Browser:Arjun-personal",
  handlers: [
    {
      match: ({ url }) => url.protocol === "slack",
      browser: "/Applications/Slack.app",
    },
   {
      match: ({url},{ opener }) => opener.bundleId === "com.tinyspeck.slackmacgap",
      browser: {
        name: "Google Chrome",
        profile: "arjundandagi"
      }
    },  
    {
      match: [
        "*cursor*",
        "*microsoft*",
        "*.awsapps.com/*" ],
      browser: {
        name: "Google Chrome",
        profile: "arjundandagi"
      }
    }
  ]
};
