Can I use a Bluetooth USB driver/adapter with a Mac that has built-in Bluetooth to make switching devices easier?

I have a work and personal MacBook Pro and frequently switch between one and the other. All of my devices are connected through a USB-C docking station, so for the most part this is as easy as unplugging a cable from one computer and plugging it into another. However, when it comes to using any Bluetooth peripheral devices like keyboards, mice, trackpads, or headphones, it can be frustrating to switch them over to controlling the other device (especially since some devices aren't capable of storing multiple profiles, while others try to connect to multiple sources simultaneously as a "feature").
I'm wondering, if I just bought a simple USB Bluetooth adapter and plugged it into my USB-C hub, would I be able to pair my computer peripherals to the adapter rather than directly to my Mac?
