This AppleScript seems to work for me:
do shell script "open -na 'Microsoft Edge' --args --profile-directory='PROFILE_NAME' --new-window 'https://google.com'"I have three profiles: "Default", "Profile 1", and "Profile 5" and it works with all three. Including the
--new-windowargument causes it to always open a new window. Omitting this will cause the URL to be opened in a new tab if there is already an open window from that profile, or a new window otherwise.(edited to clean up some mistakes)
