On my Ubuntu 16.04 I changed this file:
~/.local/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop
from:
Exec=chromium-browser --enable-pinch
to:
Exec=chromium-browser %U --enable-pinch
Now it works as expected, opening the URL in Chromium when I click a
link in an external application.

Title:
URL doesn't open from other application in chromium-browser
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
How to generate:
Set chromium-browser as default browser. Now open skype (an example
application, you can use other). Click on any web link in skpye. A
new chromium-browser will open with nothing in address bar.
(Situation: someone send me a link (say youtube link), when i click on
that chromium-browser open with blank address bar. No web link loaded)
Expected:
Open new chromium-browser window with link if no browser instance is running
otherwise in new tab.
Note: If you click on any link in chromium-browser or in chromium-
browser webapp than it works fine.
