Ask HN: How can I make Mail/Messages links open in Incognito by default?

Whenever I click a link on my computer (e.g, from email or Messages), it opens by default in my browser of choice, but never in an Incognito window. Nearly 100% of the time, I want it to open in Incognito, which I use whenever I'm visiting a site that I don't need to be logged into. My current workaround is to right-click the link, copy link, switch to my browser, open a new Incognito window, paste in the link and hit return. While this doesn't seem like that big a deal, it's actually a lot of clicks (11 key presses) — compared to just one click to open a link normally. Additionally, it puts the pasted link into my pasteboard manager, which is unnecessary and annoying when I go to retrieve a snippet that is now further down in the stack. What's the best way to handle this? I've considered switching my default browser to a different browser that completely blocks cookies and forgets history all the time, but it seems like there should be a better solution.
