Bug Description

Several services register handlers for opening links in their external applications (examples: zoom.us, Microsoft Teams). Following a link to the respective content makes chromium display a box asking if xdg-open should be called. When I choose yes, nothing happens at all.

Example content: https://t1p.de/WebinarZSL
(That's a webinar for schools using MS Teams. The Teams app can be downloaded from their page.)
