Title:
  [snap] mailto: links don't work in chromium

Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  href="mailto:xyz"; links don't work in the chromium snap package
  anymore to open an external email client.

  It used to work fine in the non-snap Chromium deb package, before
  Ubuntu 19.10.

  In settings, if enabling "Allow sites to ask to become default
  handlers for protocols (recommended)", it is possible to set Gmail to
  be the default mailto handler, which works. But there seems to be no
  way to make the chromium snap open Evolution, Thunderbird or other
  external programs.

  Mailtos work fine in Firefox and chromium-based Brave browser (which
  pops up an xdg-open confirmation dialog box when a mailto link is
  clicked).

  Chromium Version 77.0.3865.120 (Official Build) snap (64-bit)
  Ubuntu Budgie 19.10, gnome 3.34.1
