In the doc: QDesktopServices

http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qdesktopservices.html#openUrl

bool QDesktopServices::openUrl ( const QUrl & url ) [static]

Opens the given url in the appropriate Web browser for the user's desktop environment, and returns true if successful; otherwise returns false.

You can try this code

QString link = "http://www.google.com";
QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl(link));

Read QDesktopServices and QUrl to get further information.
