You in fact can't.

One way could be to extend QDeclarativeWebView but it's a private
class (exported). QDeclarativeWebView is just a wrapper on top of
QGraphicsWebView not QWebView.

You can see if you prefer to subclass QGraphicsWebView and expose it in QML.

The WebView element in QtWebKit 1.0 was not developed further as we
move to WebKit2/Qt5 where in that world the QML api will be the
primary entry point.

See previous.
