When run from a terminal, the following message gives a clue:
user-open error: Supplied URL scheme "steam" is not allowed
The xdg-open wrapper in snapd white-lists known URL schemes
(https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/master/userd/launcher.go#L60),
and "steam" is not one of them.

Title:
[snap] steam:// application links don't work in chromium
Status in snapd:
New
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Example of a link: steam://connect/164.132.201.196:27119
This link is supposed to open a window or start a game in the steam
application, but steam is not doing anything. It works in non-snap Chromium
(tested on a new installation and a chrome prompt appeared, maybe some setting
in my snap version is preventing this?).
Ubuntu 18.10
Chromium Version 73.0.3683.75 (Official Build) snap (64-bit)
