Very complex, probably. As you know(?), the Webkit support including
QWebView has been removed and replaced with QWebEngine. So the direct
replacement for QWebView would be QWebEngineView [0], however it does not
offer all the features of the old support.

Owing to the nature of the Chromium browser there probably is no equivalent
of the linkClicked signal. See this old forum post [1] and other posts in
the webengine forum [2]

You need to analyze what the old code wants to accomplish by looking at
every click-of-a-link and see if it can be done some other way.
