In the case of qtwebengine, this might be impossible, because it is a
dependency for other packages. If they require the newer version (although
not very likely in this case), then it has to be built first.
Perhaps the logic changes if you put it into @world. Then it can be compiled
with other big packages (big applications) in one go, and only after that
you build the rest by doing the deep update.
One possibility is a wrapper script in which you store those packages you
want to handle that way. It will check whether there is an update for them
and—if there is—mask all versions that are newer than the currently
installed one in a dedicated package.mask.d file. Then it runs a world
update, after which it removes the mask file and finally runs another update
pass.
