WebBrowser is based on KHTML, which is a KDE 'KPart' that "only" deals with 
HTML, Javascript, and Java. 

Konqueror is a KPart container, it's him that manages the contextual menus.

You can run Konqueror externally, or better the gb.desktop component for that. 
If you really need Konqueror "inside" your application, you can try to play 
with the Embedder control and embeds the window of a running Konqueror inside 
your application.
