Bug Description

I've Zoom messenger installed and in previous Ubuntu instalation I had chromium probably not from snap store. Now I'm on fresh Ubuntu 19.10 and zoom links opened in the chromium from snap store are showing prompt to open xdg-open, but after clicking it to open, nothing happens - the website is unable to launch the Zoom transmission.

xdg is installed, /usr/share/applications/Zoom.desktop is available
```
Name=Zoom
Comment=Zoom Video Conference
Exec=/usr/bin/zoom %U

Terminal=false

Encoding=UTF-8
Categories=Network;Application;
StartupWMClass=Zoom
