IIRC my tutorial on
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/edu/l-dw-linuxkp1-i.html
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/edu/l-dw-linuxkp2-i.html
had info about that.  [registration needed]

But otherwise, just look up the docs for KParts::ComponentFactory.
Hmm, not in the API docs since it seems we don't generate docs for templates??

The easiest way:
         * You can use this method to create a generic viewer - that can display any
         * kind of file, provided that there is a ReadOnlyPart installed for it - in 5 lines:
         * \code
         * // Given the following: KURL url, QWidget* parentWidget and QObject* parentObject.
         * QString mimetype = KMimeType::findByURL( url )->name();
         * KParts::ReadOnlyPart* part = KParts::ComponentFactory::createPartInstanceFromQuery<KParts::ReadOnlyPart>( mimetype, QString::null, parentWidget, 0, parentO
bject, 0 );
         * if ( part ) {
         *     part->openURL( url );
         *     part->widget()->show();  // also insert the widget into a layout, or simply use a QVBox as parentWidget
         * }
