Multiple calls to custom protocols work only the first time

Reported by gibish...@gmail.com, Apr 21 2017 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.81 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. https://jsfiddle.net/wvzfntgz/

What is the expected behavior?
After the first request for mail client opening if you wait 10 seconds it should ask another time for opening the client.

What went wrong?
It works only the first time or by clicking on a button. If you wait for auto refresh nothing happens after the first time.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 58.0.3029.81  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.3
Flash Version: 

I works correcly on IE and Firefox. It's useful to launch a native application more than one time without the need of user interaction.

Ops, sorry for opening a duplicate of an already existing issue  https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=468698. Btw it's very old and unanswered so maybe is in the oblivion :-)

It looks like the behavior is intentional, we don't want to launch an external application without a user gesture. Interestingly it does on Linux but as mentioned in the other issue, that appears to be a bug.

Thanks for the answer, I added my comment to the other issue. 
Briefly I think that you should rethink on this limitation giving trusted application the possibility to have a workaround.
