If you can use QTextBrowser instead, then KTextBrowser will do what you want. 
It will automatically start the system browser or system mailer. 

See kdeui/ktextbrowser.h,cpp for for it can be done. But I can tell you that
there exists KApplication::invokeBrowser( const QString &url ) and 
KApplication::invokeMailer(  const QString &address, const QString &subject )
in case you want to play with QTextView.
