Yes, that makes it a bit complicated I guess. Normally you would create a 
KPart for handling a certain file format (mimetype) What you could do is 
create a KPart and then instead of displaying the file in its own widget, it 
would convert the file to *.war and then redirect to this *.war file.

The KPart would need to have a BrowserExtension so that it can call 
BrowserExtension::openURLRequest() to ask for a redirection.

The drawback of this approach is that it will flicker a bit.

Cheers,
Waldo
