You can do it by providing your own QNetworkManager-derived class, with
QWebPage::setNetworkAccessManager()
This class has a createRequest() function that is called by QtWebKit to load
each external object and that you want to reimplent.

In your implementation, to allow the request (based on its url), just return
QNetworkManager::createRequest() with the original arguments.

To deny the request, I instantiate a copy the QNetworkRequest object, set its
url to QUrl() and return the result of QNetworkManager::createRequest() for
that request. Not sure if it's the best method but it appears to work.

I'm using this to avoid hitting spammers pictures and webbugs when displaying
HTML mails.
