Prowling around the web, I found that the url I'm seeing is a "file reference url", not sure whether this is an Apple thing or cross platform. Since it works in Safari and not in Chrome, I suspect it may be an Apple thing.
However the engine processes a launch document command is converting the normal filepath to this file reference url which apparently Chrome doesn't like. I think I will file a QCC report about it. Not sure it's really a bug since the file reference url is valid in Safari but would be nice to have a way to have the filepth not be converted to a file reference url.
