Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.100 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Select text beginning with "chrome://", like "chrome://about" 2. Right click (or perform equivalent) to show context menu What is the expected behavior? Like other links, there should be a menu option that says "Go to <link>" right above the "Print" option. What went wrong? Chrome didn't recognize "chrome://about" as a link able to be opened even though it can be copy-pasted into the address bar. Did this work before? No Chrome version: 61.0.3163.100 Channel: stable OS Version: Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 27.0 r0

Probably intentional, to avoid users being manipulated into changing something on a built-in page with just a few clicks. Or maybe because chrome:// scheme cannot be used in links on a web page. However, selecting and pasting in the address bar is about the same order of complexity, and a context menu is not part of the web page so I see no harm in fixing the current behavior.

willieechalmers@ Thanks for the issue. Tested this issue on Mac OS 10.12.6, Windows 7 and Ubuntu 14.04 using the latest Canary 63.0.3223.8 and latest Stable 61.0.3163.100 using the below steps, 1. Launched Chrome and typed chrome://about in omnibox. 2. Selected the URL and right clicked on the context menu and can see the options - Cut, Copy, Paste,Paste and Search, Delete, Select all, Edit Search Engine. 3. Can see the same options on right clicking the different URLs as well. Please see the attached screen-shots for reference. Can you please explain what exactly is the issue here or is it a new feature request? Can you please share the screen-cast for better understanding of the issue. Thanks..

#3, the issue is about links in the page: 0. open the attached test.html 1. select chrome://version and right-click it 2. select www.google.com and right click it Expected: "Go to " + the selected URL is present both in step 1 and 2 Observed: "Go to " + the selected URL is present only in step 2

Yes, as speculated in Comment 2, this is working as intended.

Are there any reasons chrome:// isn't a scheme Chrome recognizes besides possible security concerns? As Comment 2 also said, if a user is being manipulated into changing some Chrome settings, it wouldn't be that much harder to copy and paste the link into the address bar.
