I'm trying to make an Automator Quick Action to open links in Microsoft Edge (via right-click -> Services). This is to mainly be used in Outlook to open up links in Edge rather than my default browser, Safari.

I've got it half working... It works on URLs that are spelled out, such as https://www.macrumors.com, but it will not work on hyperlinks like Macrumors since it does not show up as an option in the context menu. (It seems that it only uses the selected text rather than the hyperlink itself.)

Is there any way to get it to work on any type of hyperlinks? Also, is there a way to have it open using a specific profile in Edge?

This is what my Quick Action currently looks like:
