Opening links from external apps seems to launch in random containers. What's the logic? How can I control this?

Long-time Firefox user here, with a mega frustrating issue I've had for months now. I keep my default Firefox container for corporate / work related logins, and a Personal container for other stuff. I'm utterly confused as to when clicking a URL in another app will launch the site in the default container, and when it will launch in the Personal container - it really seems random. And there seems no obvious way to control this.
So for example, I have my corporate github account, and my personal one, logged in in these different containers. Launching links from Outlook (work email), more often than not, opens in my personal container, and so none of my work-related github links are clickable. At one stage I'd made it so github links would only ever open in the default container, but then that precludes me from ever using my personal github account in Firefox too, so seems to completely defeat the purpose. But sometimes (infrequently) it launches in the default container! I've verified it has nothing to do with what container tab is currently in focus. Is it just guessing based on how many tabs of a particular container I've opened today??
Besides understanding this problem, is there any way I can control which container is opened when launching links from external apps like Outlook or Slack? Sure, I can copy the link, then open a tab, then paste it in, but FML if I have to do that 50 times a day - I'll need to jump back to Chrome :(
