Hi here,
Firstable, thanks for your awesome work!
I'm looking for a solution would allow me to open pdf files directly with my prefered application: llpp or return on a chromium's tile if I just clicked on a mail link. Is it possible?
Thanks for your answers :)
This looks like a chrome issue, not i3.

Chromium does not have its own file handler application, but relies on mime types defined at the system. Have a look at xdg-open.
I finally found solutions to my two problems, look the following
for mailto tag to use gmail, {check this link} (can't post link yet) try
navigator.registerProtocolHandler("mailto",
"(1)mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s",
"Gmail");(I found solution from Paul Irish but can't post link. If someone find the link please edit my post. I'll do it as soon as I can)
Also for pdf files. I really think all pdf readers are more or less crap in Linux, to heavy or light but you just can only read from it (you don't have search options or table of contents), anyway I downloaded this from the store: check pdf.js or html5 pdf viewer on chrome/chromium store both are the pretty the same. Thoses are perfectly doing things as I expected
Hope it helps you too.
