What about returning a Cursor instead? 
In QTextDocument (as an example) you create a QTextCursor which has a position 
and an anchor, which together makes a range.   You can have as many cursors 
on the document as you want.
So in KWord I create a highlight section by creating a new QTextCursor and 
setting the range. 
I should note that in contrary to KTextEditor::Cursor the QTextCursor has a 
selectedText() method.

I think it makes a lot of sense to follow that design instead of moving away 
further.
