Can Ender Pearls teleport players between dimensions?

[1.11.2]

So using a method from this post i kept about five chunks loaded. I can't prove if this make's sure that the chunks stay loaded but this is my method anyway:

I loaded a super-flat world and used the /setblock command to make an end portal and used the method above to make sure the chunks stay loaded. I then threw the ender pearl and jumped in to the portal. Nothing happened but please be aware that the chunks may not load as I'm not one hundred percent sure that SkylinerW's method is 100% accurate. I tried this method five times in a row with the same results.

Also sometimes during the commandblockoutput there would be an error but it's moving too fast for me to read it.

My Opinion is that it does not work, but may have worked in previous version's. I'm going to research this more.

But technically a player can teleport between dimensions simply by throwing one into an end portal.

Actually they do work between dimensions. They only work in multiplayer though.

Let me explain: I build a teleporter with redstone and slime blocks that bounce the enderpearl in perfect sync so that when something breaks the signal the pearl falls on the block landing me there so I had my friend in one dimension and me on the other and he broke the signal and I teleported.
