Stop chrome from prompting when running external URL handler?

0

I've configured an external handler for telnet:// links following these instructions. It works great, but every time I click on a click chrome asks me:

Open xdg-open? http://<site i am browsing> wants to open this application

I would like telnet links to Just Work without the intervening prompt. How do I tell chrome to launch the external handler without prompting?

[NB: I'm running Chrome on Linux]

@Moab Thanks for the pointer! Adding URLWhitelist: ["telnet://*"] to the policy makes things work as I want, although it's odd that's at the policy level and not the user level. – larsks – 2020-02-10T16:49:33.347

glad you resolved it. – Moab – 2020-02-10T18:05:24.787
