It has been an HL tricks of the trade for as long as I have been working football. Every mentor I've heard talk about the working the chains passes this trick on. it's a quick way for that 5 will get you 1 to be communicated to the Referee on a flag.
While I have never seen it written in any official NFHS mechanics manual there might be some words somewhere on the high school level.
Those words are probably in the CCA manual for NCAA officials. I know they are in the ECAC manual for NCAA officials. We just do it on a regular basis.
For years I carried a small leatheman to remove the huge blobs of tape from chains. I've tried all sorts of "devices", with wrapped tape my least favorite. Use what works for you.
