Windows 10 Folder Rdirection - Redirect Browser Favorites

Hello Everyone and thank you for any insights and suggestions on this perplexing issue. We are moving from old style roaming profiles to pure folder redirection through GPO. However, even with newest admx templates (for W10b1903 or 1909), including those for Chrome,  on server DC 2016 I cannot see easy options to redirect Edge Chromium to the network for the favorites so users can see these on more than 1 machine. Also Google Chrome gives a warning wen trying to redirect to network and I read that since it redirects all content it can (depending on number of users) cause latency issues on file servers. How does everyone handle favorites redirection (a common practice) for Edge Chromium and Google Chrome. Kind of urgent. Thank you very much

edge chromium

"C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Bookmarks"

Chrome

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default."

yes but those are local and I need to find a way to send it the server through gpo... e.g. desktop folder redirected to
User GPO
Desktop
Setting: Basic (Redirect everyone's folder to the same location)hide
Path: \\fileservername\users\%USERNAME%\Desktop

Is there a way to do this for favorites ONLY for either of those browsers?
Did you try setting the Registry keys via Group Policy Preferences?
