Chrome on Mac hands off to Safari on iPhone

When I am using Chrome on my Mac (OSX Yosemite 10.10.2), it shows the handoff symbol on my iPhone. But when I open it, it hands off to Safari, not to Chrome on my iPhone (iOS 8.2).

How can I make Chrome on my Mac hand off to Chrome on my iPhone?

On another note, when I use Chrome on my iPhone, it successfully hands off to Chrome on my Mac.

It is a small javascript code that a user needs to save in Safari bookmarks, tapping on this saved bookmark will transfer link to Google Chrome. The code is below.

javascript:location.href="googlechrome"+location.href.substring(4);

Instructions:

Copy the code above and bookmark this page in safari . Now open safari bookmarks, click edit and edit the just saved bookmark . Rename your Bookmark to anything like Open in chrome . Delete the URL in the bookmark and replace it with the above javascript code. Thats it! Now your links can be opened in Google Chrome, if you open a link from within an app or email, it opens in safari, then hit the above bookmark to open it in chrome browser . Any of the above methods can be used by a jailbroken user to set Google Chrome as default iOS browser while the regular users can
