Sure, you could do something alike

static QMyDialog *myDialog = 0;

void myMessageHandler(QtMsgType type, const char *msg)
{
  if (myDialog)
    myDialog->addWarning(msg);
else
   fprintf(stderr, "%s", msg);
}

and set the myDialog pointer to your dialog object (but don't forget to unset it after deletion of the dialog, otherwise you'll get crashes).
