In Ubuntu, Chromium is provided a snap. The snap confinement prevents the program from accessing system files under /usr/share, /usr/share/doc being an exception when the system-package-doc interface[1] is connected (which is the default).
Although the symlink is under /usr/share/doc, it points to a non-whitelisted location under /usr/share, and thus Chromium cannot load it.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience this generates in this case, but that limitation is inherent to the model.
