Menu
I'm looking for the easiest way to display a simple html file (just a long html-formatted text) inside the Qt dialog. Links, if any, should be opened in the external default system browser.

Qt's text widgets are able to display rich text, specified using a subset of HTML 4 markup.
Qt for WebAssembly enables building Qt applications so that they can be integrated into web pages. It doesn't require any client-side installations and reduces the use of server-side resources.
Is it a desktop app with web features? If so, yes Qt in general is very good for that. If you mean a kind of server that outputs HTML, then you should use something else because you would have to reinvent many wheels to make it work.
No need for a QWebView, use a QTextBrowser:
#include <QTextBrowser>
QTextBrowser *tb = new QTextBrowser(this);
tb->setOpenExternalLinks(true);
tb->setHtml(htmlString);
also remember QT += widgets

Working example in Python using PySide2:
from PySide2.QtWidgets import QTextBrowser, QApplication
if __name__ == '__main__':
import sys
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
text_browser = QTextBrowser()
str_html = """
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1 style="color:blue;">Hello World!</h1>
<p style="color:red;">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</p>
</body>
</html>
"""
text_browser.setText(str_html)
text_browser.show()
text_browser.raise_()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
