Qt designer adding a link to a QPushButton

Question

I have a QPushButton in QT that I need to have redirect to a website, currently the button does not go anywhere when I inherited it. I have never worked with QT before so am looking for what would need to be done to make this button redirect to a URL when hit.

Right now the properties for it have

QObject QWidget QAbstractButton QPushButton

Please help :)

You can extend QPushButon:

#include <QDesktopServices>
#include <QUrl>
#include "LinkButton.h"

LinkButton::LinkButton(QWidget *parent) : QPushButton(parent) {
    this->setFlat(true);
    connect(this, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(slotOpenUrl()));
}

void LinkButton::setUrl(QString url) {
    this->url = url;
}

void LinkButton::slotOpenUrl() {
    QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl(this->url));
}
