SUMMARY
This bug was descrirbed well in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=439477 which seems to be closed.

In this case, in addition to links not loading the page in chrome, I am not able to sign into zoom as the google sign in page does not load as html.  I am not able to log into zoom and so am not able to participate in any zoom session.

As described in the bug mentined above, clicking on any link in any desktop app only loads text and not the requested web page.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.   Open zoom
2. 
 click on sign-in
3. 
  click on Google sign in

OBSERVED RESULT
Page text is loaded by chrome instead of the requested web page

EXPECTED RESULT
To see google sign-in page in browser.

Could you check the .desktop file corresponding to chrome? This can happen when the relevant .desktop file is missing the %u  placeholder.

Yes, that fixed it.  I removed them as I was using launchers to load chrome for two different profiles.  They have been removed for a long time as it worked as expected.  This started happening with the latest release.

Having said that, I could be wrongs, as I was recently having problems with the launcher icons. 

That is another bug I will report as soon as I have enough info.
