well, for me the urls are database keys, so I need to intercept the click and 
ask an underlying database to come up with the html to render.

It was principally the need to get access to clicked url to intercept and 
redirect it's loading.  But also I access selectedText of QWebView, history of 
QWebPage etc.

As I explained, I tried to expose another C++ class that was a variation of 
QDeclarativeWebView, but for some reason I did not manage to make it work on 
Harmattan (N9 phone), even if it worked fine on desktop.
