Yes, they are even available as KParts components (so you don't need them
when linking, only at runtime).
But you would get some UI for file management together with them,
and you would have to either disable it, or implement some of the stuff
Konqueror does (like the standard actions etc.).
It might be better so simply use KFileViews (from the file dialog)
together with a preview job (not sure, I have never used a kfileview,
but Carsten will speak up hopefullly :)
