Yes, that's really annoying. Executing hyper links is possible, actually it's 
all implemented in QTextEdit, but disabled, the QTextEdit-friend QTextBrowser 
seems to be the only class which can override this.
Adding links seems only be possible with append() but not with insert()...

Maybe the only way to get better support for editing links, images, tables 
etc. is to take the QTextEdit code and create a modified QTextEdit with added 
support? I don't think any standard Qt widget offers what we need.
I asked on #kde-devel if anybody knows an application with a widget which 
combines editable rich text and hyper links, but nobody did.
