Hey,
It's a great idea, I'll have to dig a little bit how to link the bluetooth device to it's audio device, that's the hard part, but I like the idea.

Maybe make it manual? As a script to run when(after) switching to profile.
And in the script there is Bluetooth connect command via Bluetooth command tools line. Also this Opens many doors for people to utilize your software.
In other words switching to profile activate/launch any script/program/batch file.
There is command in bluetooth command told line to connect via the Bluetooth device audio name. So they solved your problem.

Technically it would be more to be run before activating the profile.

The idea being, we need to have the audio device connected to Windows first then switch the audio.
I'm gonna look into that Bluetooth cli.

Man, this is a crazy rabbit hole, Bluetooth on Windows is far from easy ...

True, i use this in my shell:startup folder to make sure my BT headset mics are not being used and i therefor get unmuffled audio:
