Hi @jean-helou,

The comment you see was referencing this PR:
https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/8289 which unfortunately did not
end up making it into 2.44, however I have confirmed that it is in 2.45,
which should be released soon. If you would like to test out those
changes, please install the snapd from edge:

```
snap install snapd --edge || snap refresh snapd --edge
```

But note that the edge channel may be less stable than the other
channels as it automatically pulls in changes from git master daily and
so may have more bugs/incomplete features than other channels in snapd.
You can always switch back to stable snapd snap with:

```
snap refresh snapd --stable
```

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.
