SUMMARY
***
System Settings.Applications.Default Applications allows you to set a default web browser.  Would it be possible to specify a different web browser to open specific URLs (or URLs conforming to specified patterns)?  

For example, I want to have Firefox as the browser to open most URLs.  However, if someone sends me a URL for a Microsoft Teams meeting (which, as far as I can tell, all begin "https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join")  then I would like to specify Chrome instead.  Moreover, I have the Teams Progressive Web Application (PWA) installed in Chrome, and ideally I would like to be able to specify that any Teams meeting URL is opened using the Chrome Teams PWA rather than just the general Chrome browser. 

(NB While System Settings.Applications.File Associations allows you to specify different applications for different file extensions, I don't see any equivalent for URLs.)  

Thanks and regards
***

This seems reasonable. I've personally also sometimes wished for similar functionality, with being able to open specific URLs in Vivaldi, for instance. Some sites just don't play well with Firefox, which is my default as well.
