I think the best way to do this is to write the code that creates and manipulates SVG elements in JavaScript. You'd write some JavaScript that you'd load into the page (either using a script tag or using the JavaScriptCore APIs). If needed, your C++ code can call into JavaScript, and vice-versa. Or maybe you'll be able to write your whole UI in HTML and JavaScript.
