Public bug reported:
WebView is a poor API for embedding local HTML applications - it
requires implementations for various permission request signals and
contains a lot of API that just isn't relevant. Doing things like
supporting multiple windows will all require writing QML code. And there
are restrictions around file:/// URLs that limit functionality to
applications (eg, bug 1591761) which result in applications relying on
footguns like WebPreferences::allowUniversalAccessFromFileUrls and
WebPreferences::allowFileAccessFromFileUrls.
I want to provide an alternative API (ApplicationWindow, or something)
which will be a dedicated API for embedding local HTML applications.
