Hi, I installed the chromium snap and it's not able to open the locally installed winehq.org compatible Roblox! This is a super huge deal IMHO because having Roblox on Linux is very awesome for the Pipeline of Linux users(the Children) who love to play that game!

Roblox.com (the great creative game for the Children) games only work from the browser-based "Play" button for each game so since xdg-mime / xdg-open for roblox-player cannot be called from the snap based chromium, it breaks roblox.

Roblox.com can be installed on Ubuntu / Linux in winehq.org or to make it easier - with Grapejuice https://brinkervii.gitlab.io/grapejuice/docs/ or even Malik's wrapper at https://github.com/msmalik681/Maliks-Linux-Roblox-Wrapper

Some people are saying to install chromium "from the repo" but that apparently is not an option any more in Ubuntu - it has to come from snap.

Does anyone have a good workaround to setup the whitelist to allow these to work with snap chromium?

# add my roblox launcher to xdg list.
xdg-mime default "roblox-malik.desktop" x-scheme-handler/roblox-player
# add my roblox studio launcher to xdg list.
xdg-mime default "roblox-studio-malik.desktop" x-scheme-handler/roblox-studio
xdg-mime default "roblox-studio-malik.desktop" application/x-roblox-rbxl
xdg-mime default "roblox-studio-malik.desktop" application/x-roblox-rbxlx

Thanks!
