If you want to handle them in a different way to normal Web pages, it seems
that calling setForwardUnsupportedContent(True) on the QWebPage is the way
to do it.

However, if you want to handle those links and present the content for the
browser to render then you may need to override the browser's network access
manager, as discussed in this message:

I experimented a little and added an example to the PyQt Wiki:

I hope it helps to get you started with your own custom protocol.
