Hi folks, the change that @osomon referenced is available in the snapd
snap beta channel, can you try the following to see if you are able to
open zoom links from the chromium snap now:

```
snap install snapd --beta || snap refresh snapd --beta
```

I tested this on Ubuntu 20.04 and snapd 2.44.5 with the zoom-client snap
revision 75 and the chromium snap revision 1135 and it all worked as
expected (I used this URL to test
zoommtg://zoom.us/join?confno=123456789&pwd=xxxx&zc=0&browser=chrome&uname=Betty).

We are in the process of releasing 2.44.5, and hope to have it available
on stable for all users ASAP, but the 20.04 release and a company-wide
sprint last week have slightly delayed deploying this fix.

Title:
  Whitelisted allowedURLschemes breaks some desktop apps

Status in snapd:
  Triaged
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/7952972d4897e085030b288e44dc98b824f6723a/userd/launcher.go#L55

  snapd has a hard-coded list of allowed URL schemes. Currently that is
  limited to "http", "https", "mailto", "snap".

  We have a number of applications in the store which are trying to use
  protocol handlers outside this scope and break when that's not
  possible.

  e.g.

  Telegram Desktop: tg:/
  Github Desktop: git:/
  IRCCloud Desktop: irc:/

  These are the ones I know of, others may also be affected. Can we
  please at least expand the list to those that we know of, and perhaps
  research other popular protocol handlers?

  Ideally we wouldn't have a whitelist, because this delays our ability
  to land new applications with as-yet unknown url schemes.
