My guess is that chrome is not fully setup as your browser. All Thunderbird does with links, unless you have modified the default handlers is pass the link to the operating system with a here is a link and the operating system acts on it with the default application.
I know Windows 20 has some weirdness about default browsers, as I have mine set to Firefox, but periodically Windows 10 ignores than for it's own apps and just uses edge regardless of my choices. It is a bit like a virus really.
Mozilla have the following instructions for Firefox users. https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2015/07/29/firefox-for-windows-10-how-to-restore-or-choose-firefox-as-your-default-browser/
The steps will be similar in Chrome.
