If I add usr/bin/xdg-desktop-menu and usr/bin/xdg-icon-resource to the
snap, the errors go away, and indeed a desktop file is created in
$HOME/snap/chromium/current/.local/share/applications/.

These desktop files are not marked executables, so double-clicking on them in 
nautilus won't work. After marking them executable, interestingly some of them 
work, and some don't (they just open an empty browser window with all its 
chrome).
An example of a shortcut that works is https://html5test.com. One that doesn't 
is https://example.org.
