Unable to force links to open in chrome app?

Reported by jennifer...@gmail.com, Jan 7 2017

Issue description

Device name: Samsung Galaxy Note 4

From "Settings > About Chrome"
Application version: Chrome Beta 56.0.2924.53
Operating system: Android 6.0.1; SM-N910V Build/MMB29M

URLs (if applicable): any links clicked from other apps including Gmail, Facebook, Google app

Steps to reproduce:
(1) select URL from other apps
(2)
(3)

Expected result: expect to open in chrome beta app


Actual result: opens in app (Facebook) or as single page outside of chrome beta, as opposed to a new tab in chrome beta app

Is this an intended feature or a bug? I browse with multiple tabs and expect pages to open in chrome. Every time I open a link, I have to select menu > open in chrome Beta. I thought maybe I needed to change a setting within my other apps, or within chrome, but I'm unable to force pages to open in the chrome beta browser. I'm going back to regular chrome app until/unless this is fixed, because it's only creating frustration. I honestly don't even know if anything else is working better in the beta build because I can't get past this issue.

This new tab management is intentional.
Ted, FYI..
