For instance, you can go to chrome://browser/content/places/places.xhtml in a browser tab to see the bookmarks and history manager. That link opens the bookmarks, I wonder if there's a URL that opens the history manager directly instead.

Your Firefox install contains a file called omni.ja. For example on many Linux machines it will be at /usr/lib/firefox/browser/omni.ja. This file is a ZIP archive and contains your places.xhtml as well as other browser files. The exact paths are not always obvious as there is some remapping taking place (see the .manifest files in the archive) but I think the vast majority of chrome:// paths come from this archive.
