Redirect to a Chrome extension

I'm looking for a way to open a Chrome extension from URL, in HTML and Javascript. Something like redirect to chrome://<extension-id> (which doesn't work on the last version of Chrome).

Is it possible?

Can I retrieve all the extensions installed on Chrome (user side)?
In this case I would be able to get the ID of the application, if needed.

I've just solved in this way:

window.location = chrome.extension.getURL('index.html');

As I'm developing a Chrome extension, this code automatically redirect to the main page of the extension (it requires a proper manifest.json file).
