Please note that clicking on the link and entering it in Konqueror's bar or
refreshing it from Konqueror are not the same action. The click is handled by
QtWebKit where as the refresh/load are handled by Konqueror. That is why
load/reload or refresh will result in the url being opened by the configured
part.

As I said this is a known issue, but there is nothing we can do about fixing it
since QtWebKit does not allow us to override its setting. See
