How I managed to work around this to add a new Slack workspace:

* Click the + button in the desktop app. This opens https://app.slack.com/ssb/add?… in Chromium.
* Press F12 to get the Network tab. Make sure *Preserve Log* is checked.
* Type in the workspace URL and hit Enter.
* When prompted to run `xdg-open`, accept it. Nothing will happen.
* Look in the request *Name* column for the red request starting with `slack://` in the full URL displayed in the hover tip.
* Right-click to *Copy » Copy link address*.
* From a terminal window, type `xdg-open `, paste the link, and Enter

For Zoom it is usually less cumbersome since you can just open the Zoom app manually and copy and paste the meeting ID from the URL displayed in the browser, though this does not seem to work in all cases.
