Shared ankimorphs.db across 2 separate profiles?

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Yes. In Anki, you cannot select a specific deck to be synced, you must sync all decks in a profile. AnkiMorphs strength is pairing it with subs2srs, however, most of the sentence bank cards are actually not used (only the 1T cards are). Therefore, it would be nice to keep the Sentence Bank as a separate profile, and set this profile to NOT sync automatically (cards kept locally). Then, after mining 1T cards, those cards could be exported to the other profile. This avoids having to sync thousands of sentence bank cards that may or may not be used.

Describe the solution you would like

A way for for Profile 2's 'ankimorphs.db' file to be automatically updated/overwritten by Profile 1's 'ankimorphs.db' file. Or, a way for multiple profiles to share one 'ankimorphs.db'.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually copying the 'ankimorphs.db' files from Profile 1 to Profile 2.

Additional context

I understand this may not be possible at all given the way Profiles work in Anki. I also understand that this would not work for anyone who does use separate profiles for their intended use in Anki. For my workflow, I like to keep Profile 1 with all my actively studied cards, and keep Profile 2 as a local storage profile for all shared decks that I'm considering using in the future, and for my subs2srs Sentence Bank cards. This also helps my Profile 1 stay cleaner.
