How to add new options to the taskbar context menu?

Currently the taskbar icon only offers a few tasks in the context menu, such as open new tab, new window or private new window.

I understand that accessing about:config would allow me some other options, such as recently visited pages. And also allows me to remove those tasks.

I want to add the option to select which profile I open from that menu, instead of opening the default one, then selecting the correct profile in about:profiles that, in turn opens yet another window.

I tried adding a value "browser.taskbar.lists.profiles.enable" and several variations of that command. None worked.

Is there a way to add that option, so when I right-click the icon in the taskbar I can directly select the profile I want to launch?

You can't use about:config to add new features to the taskbar jump list, there are only the current browser.taskbar.lists.* prefs to set what to show there.

Is there another way to add stuff there, then? The profile feature is great to separate personal use from work stuff, but it's so inaccessible and unfriendly I'm considering using other browsers.
